There's nothing built in to AIX that'll do it. What are you using on your
other UNIXs?
Several people have come up with their own tools to do it but all of these
rely on taking a snap-shot of the "good" system in advance.
Do you know what command was run that messed things up? If so, you ought to
be able to determine those files which might have been affected and check
them on another, good system.
Otherwise, you could be looking at a restore.
