You could image the whole drive/partition, then restore from your backup and try to recover some new files not yet in the backup from the image using photorec or so.
Not enough info, but I'm guessing no. Looks like you started zeroing out the drive and cancelled realizing your mistake? If you had just deleted the partition, you could fix that with ease, but zeroing is pretty much a guaranteed no.
You can try and run some data recovery tools to find some specific files, but I'm pretty sure it's just wasted time.
If this is a HDD you could recover it.
If SSD - no.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
