This is going sound totally insane.

While jumping though, consider this; quite a few versions ago, Adobe were planning to implement the ability to save multiple levels of undo in Illustrator, so that if some numbnuts did what you have obviously just done, they could go back and open the file and undo all that badness. Don’t know why it never happened.

sucks. i feel for you. i used to do this all the time. easy mistake with apps that autosave like indesign.
now i never go more than 1/2 a day without saving a new version. every significant change in a design = b01a, b01b, b01c...

Please let us know how it goes, saunakspace.

No way back unfortunately.
You don't need time machine though. get yourself an external drive (or separate partition/folder) and install http://allwaysync.com/
then give it a schedule to auto sync your files between directories. lunch and end of day works well.
