Not all is lost though. I grepped through the strings output of the
device file, and found some names that I'm certain, I haven't saved
anywhere else. So I made an image of the harddrive and am now digging
through it with a hexeditor. I'm quite confident, that I can save most
of the data and with a little luck, I can rebuild the address file
automatically.
