Recover iPad 2 data directly from the device

I just upgraded my iPad software to iOS 6. Something happened during the upgrade and iTunes restored the files using an old backup which resulted in loosing a lot of pictures, apps, etc. Is there a tool available that would help restore those files directly from the device? Thank you.

As a follow up to the above question... Even if there is no tool available, is there a way to get back the information that was on the iPad before the upgrade to iOS 6? I've not connected to iTunes for a few months and when I did, as I mentioned before, I've updated to the latest version of iTunes and iOS. There was a glitch with the upgrade, it got interrupted, and when it restarted it restored and old back up. The result was that everything I added since the last backup doesn't show up on my iPad anymore.


I would really appreciate an answer to my questions even if it is: It can't be done. Period.


Thank you.
