Is it possible to recover a file that's been saved over?

I'm sure I already know the answer to this question, but I
have to ask anyway. I was working on an Excel file
containing very important information on my laptop. I
wanted to save the file to my thumb drive in order to
create a backup copy. I recall being prompted by the save
action to replace the existing copy, which I assumed was
referring to the old copy that was already on my thumb
drive, so I selected the "Yes" button. Now that I've tried
to open the file on the laptop, I realize that it now has
the old copy. Basically, I saved the old version of the
file on top of the new one. Does Windows provide any way
to recover the file that was saved over?
