I believe there is an open enhancement request for "undoable"  
deletions in at least kronolith if you'd like to possibly support the  
development of that.

Otherwise, it probably wouldn't be TOO difficult to write a CLI script  
to interact with some secondary, backup database and select data to  
retrieve. The problem is that some data might be linked somehow to  
other data via external and/or auto increment keys and such, so  
depending on the situation it might not be a simple matter of  
re-inserting the data into the appropriate tables.

Keep in mind for a full backup strategy you don't want to forget the  
VFS if it's not contained in your database.
