Hmm, not sure how useful this will be, but I suspect that you've probably
lost it all to be honest :(

If you know what type of DBM file it is, you could try using a Perl
script to pull it all out - but there are several types of DB file, so
you'd need to know which it was. Even then, I'm not overly sure it would
work. Are we talking about Squid here?

Cheers,

Alex.
