If you are not using deleted item retention, then your only option is to restore the whole PF tree and then extract the data you wish to replace. If you use NT Backup as your utility then you will need to restore the whole Information Store (which will include public and private).

If you are using a 3rd party utility such as Veritas BackupExec, then you can restore just the public folder tree.

If you do go this route you will need to perform the restore on a 'non-production' server otherwise you may corrupt the current databases and transaction log files, making them useless.
