I've backuped some parts of the disk, namely /etc, /var and /home.
I wonder if I'm able to recover my past databases in the /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/ backup.
If yes, how ?

If you have the complete data directory, there should be

Install PostgreSQL 9.1 and start the server against the
data directory.
