Thanks to all how had replyed to me :)

I'm from a dos/windows world so I was hoping for an "undelete 
utility" On fat partitions data is not deleted, it's just flag as 
deleted,  so I though it was the same for freebsd.

Seems like I'll have to call the company that store our tapes offsite 
to recover :)

Thanks to all
