Sorry if it seem silly, But I'm searching for it for hours!! but I couldn't find a documentation.

I have a remote dedicated server (Centos 5) and for some reason CPANEL accidentally removed a folder.
I want to make an image of the drive from remote server and load it into R-linux or (perhaps to purchase R-Studio) to recover that.
I have installed the R-Linux on my remote Centos server but I don't know!! how to make the image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
