I don't think that there is a unix or Linux command called "recover".

1) Find out what Operating System you have.
2) Find out how the system was backed up and get the documentation for that package.
3) Find out how the disc system is partitioned.
4) Rehearse a data restore on a test system until you are confident with using the software.
