Hello.
I don't think that it is possible to recover the data from the new table, because ALTER operation creates a new table and fills it with data (and truncates the data). But why did the system backup not help you? Could you describe the situation more in detail. If you haven't flushed you binary logs, you may want to make an attempt to recover the data from them.
