It got deleted for good. Ask your system administrator to retrieve
it from backup.

i am the sys admin, and my backups at that remote location had not been
working

When I was in charge of some 1000 PCs, one of my staff
spent half an hour each day in checking various things on
the servers at each site:
- Amount of free disk space
- Critical entries in the event loggers
- Backup logs

This was in recognition of the fact that automatic processes
have a nasty tendency to fail for the most unexpected reasons,
and that human scrutiny is essential.
