Recovering missing files in /var

Somehow, loads of files got deleted from /vcar on one of our nodes. Like
most of the contents of /var/adm/ras and /var/adm/SPlogs. The node's still
up and running, oddly enough.

I've decided to re-install the node from a mksysb, as that way I'm confident
that everything will be OK but for future reference do you think I could
have got away with restoring the individual missing files, (as best I could
- the mksysb is a couple of days old) and rebooting?
