frecover is (also) available in /sbin [1] for exactly this issue.
Otherwise crash recovery (with Ignite-UX) would not work. Don't
know/remember if fbackup is also available in /sbin.

IIRC, cpio or/and tar is also available in a non-/usr directory,
probably also /sbin.

[1] Of course as a archived-library (non-shared-library) version,
otherwise /usr would still be needed.
