Recovering Deleted Files on ReiserFS

[shardz4217-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org (Samuel Baldwin)]

It's as bad as it sounds. In a wave of stupidity, I accidentally rm
-fr'd part of my /home. (I thought I was deleteing an old backup to
make room for a newer one, but it turns out that that was not the
case.)

I've been going off of
http://antrix.net/journal/techtalk/reiserfs_data_recovery_howto.comments
as a guide, but I was wondering if anyone else here had any
suggestions as to what I should do. I'm backing up what's left of my
/home to a large external drive. Should I be backing up with 'cp' and
just grabbing the intact files, or would it be better to take the
entire partition with dd and save /that/ on the external drive?

It's going to be a long next few days. :/
