    Has the machine been backuped at that time? It might be a chance.

    There might be a chance that the files are still there, but it's
    minimal.

    The recent files? Just have a look when the oldest one starts. That's as
    far as you can go back.

    If there's no old backuptapes or a old harddisk from that machine it's
    unlikely that you'll find something.
