Well, all is not lost since you can recover from your backups.  You /do/ 
have good backups, right?  Right??  =:^)  

(Yeah, I know, I do have backups, but not /that/ good a set myself.  
There's probably about a 50/50 chance I'd have backed up and be able to 
recover something "routine" like that, as truth be told, my backups 
aren't as routine as they should be, tho they are relatively thorough.  
So if I had backed up in the mean time, I'd have caught it, but since I 
only backup every six months or so...  But I'm relatively comfortable 
with what I might lose if I had to rely on backups, which is the 
important thing.)
