I know this is a stupid question, but I am pretty down on the dumps

I deleted a whole bunch of Word docs representing 2 weeks work of a file
share

Aside from the directory not being selected for the backup, is there any
hope this side of heaven to get these files back?
 
Ian:

There is no quarantee you will be able to recover these files. There
are, however, thrid party tools such as Undelete
http://www.executive.com/undelete/undelete.asp.

These tools are usually a gamble though, and it really depends on how
much disk activity there was on the drive after you deleted the files.
If you want the best chance of recovering these files, minimize or stop
all disk activity to the disk and attempt to use one of the third-party
undelete tools.
