ok so no backup beforehand then...

Have you tried moving the drive to a  4.11 system and mounting the partition
from there, and then backing-up the data!

Might be some way of forcing UFS1 over UFS2 on the mount command, but I
don't see any mention of this in the man page (which still says 4.11 on the
online version!)
