Win 2k3 SBS how to restore files

[confusedtekguy]

One of the files we have on the server was modified and all of it's contents were deleted and saved, and we don't have it on the back up and have no idea who modified it.
Is there a way restore a particular file on win2k3 SBS, or to see who modified it last? Thanks for your help

Restore from where? You say you have no backup.....

If you look at the security of the file (assuming it is stored on an NTFS volume) and go to Security, Advanced, you will be able to see the file owner which may help shed some light on who was the last person writing the file.... unless of course you have been in the file since.....
