If you are lucky and as -l is able to print out the complete list of
objects and is able to dump all the schema, perhaps not everything is
lost. You may want to restore a limited set of objects by using
--use-list first, and see what can be saved.

Lost data would be lost. Likely you can still recover portions of it,
perhaps most of it.
