Unix Server admin needed -URGENT

OK, I run a Linode cloud server with my ecommerce sites on. I administer it myself normally, but I have made a mistake today during work and have accidentally deleted the /var/ folder when I intended to delete the /var/www/somefolder (rm -rf...) **bad I know** I NEED to save todays work from the server if possible, I have a backup as a [login to view URL] file which I can access on there using Linode emergency console (I cannot ssh normally to the server) Anyway, I have a Linode Cloud backup for this server which is from 24 hours ago, but if I use this I lose today's work which is not ideal. From the 'bad' server I can ssh to another server, I want to transfer the file elsewhere, restore my backup and reinstall the [login to view URL] file. So need someone who is very skilled in Unix, with Linode experience who can work with me on this.
