I just wanted to say You're doomed buddy ;)

The first solution that comes to my mind would be: Boot it from a LIVE CD or sth, mount it, do the necessary copying, and voila!

THE other play that i would possibly do is: (not sure if it will work)

Find any source files (copying scripts) installed that didnot have dependency on /lib folders. (scp, sftp, rsync, copywhendisaster) - very dim chance. Or else, if there's anyway you can compile scripts , run gcc for that matter, use cp.c in coreutils/src to generate a binary (on that machine or a dift one) to move files back. I bet all of these would just be FOR FUN.

I would suggest you, if you cant anyhow follow the first option, start again. Accidents Happen ;)
