I'd suggest: dd the drive and *keep* the copy. ;-)
Then make another copy of the image, configure loopback (losetup..)
to point to the image you are planning to repair. Try to repair, mount
/dev/loop0, check if the files have reappeared, umount, work a little
more on it, mount... etc.
OTOH you could dd the image to some other partition, boot some other
(non-)OS and try to recover the files with commercial tools...
