If you are making backups, you should be able to restore those records from your backup. Is this a relatively static table or transactional?

Doubtful.

SQL Server is not like a Windows desktop, you don't have a "recycle bin". You have to be careful before deleting data.

Some suggestions for next time :

1. Backups backups backups
2. For some data, it can be preferable not to delete it at all, instead, have a status column that marks the data as active or deleted. That way you can always find it if you need to.
