possible data loss.

I did an vacuum full on a particular table of
pgsql 7.2.3 database as a non superuser.
and i feel i have lost considerable data in this
text feild in this table. I think it was a known bug with
this version.

btw there was a # sign in the prompt does it
not mean the connected user was a super user?

THE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO BEFORE RESORTING TO THE LAST
BACKUP ?

(sorry for the caps though )
