I would say "ooops". I'm afraid that if you have no backup, you can not restore your data.

For the future, you can add the excellent jetty plugin from Sonian : https://github.com/sonian/elasticsearch-jetty

And protect this commands with admin credentials.

For backing up, you need to disable flush on the index you want to back up
and then just take the stuff from your data directory.

Here's what I currently use for backing up (please note that I'm also
optimizing and disabling writes before backing up - you might want to
remove that part):

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/radu-gheorghe/3180985

log_backup.bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash

###############FUNCTIONS############

function prepare {
    #optimize the index
    echo -n "Optimizing index $INDEX_NAME..."
    curl -XPOST "$ADDRESS/$INDEX_NAME/_optimize" 2>/dev/null| grep 'failed":0' >/dev/null
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "done"

log_restore.bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash

###############FUNCTIONS############

function get_arguments {
    for ARGUMENT in "$@"; do
        case "$ARGUMENT" in
            -h|--help)
                echo "This will restpre indices from backup tp Elasticsearch."
                echo

As David suggested, this would only help in future - what you already
deleted is probably gone for good. Unless you can undelete the contents of
your data dir and even then it might not work.
