Recover a mistaken swap-formated USB-HD

Hi!
Installing the debian wheezy by netinstall my external USB-HD (2TB) is erroneously completly formated as swap-filesystem. I was to lazy to disconnect the USB-HD, so now i could kick myself .
Is there any chance to rescue the data. I tried to find a way by using
gparted: the whole HD is swap-fs. I only check with gparted, i didn't do any format-action.
and
testdisk. analyze and deeper search

both only see swap-fs and testdisk cant find anything.
I need a helping hint, because i need urgently some of the primary stored backup-data.

thanks in advance
IMPe
