For example, say someone had a file that got backed up to the server, then, they lost it. So now, the server would say that file was deleted and as far as I understand, it will keep that file until it needs more space. Now if the person tries to re-create the file, and the partial re-creation gets backed up, is there no way to retreive the old copy of the file? or is it lost forever?

Yes. As long as the old version of the file hasn't been deleted because
space is needed, you can retrieve it. use the '-ot' options to the list
command to find the version you want ('help list' in bbackupquery will
give you all the options).
Thanks,
