Sharepoint 2010 restore issue

My intension was to restore a previous backup of our sharepoint site to a temp server with a temp sql server from a farm backup.

After running the restore stsadm command, i noticed the backup had restored over our live farm instead of restoring to the temp server.

I have cancelled the restore. Any ideas on how I can fix my live site? My nightly backups are not due to run for a few more hours, so I am about to lose everything that was changed today.

Is there something I could do in SQL? perhaps retrieve from transaction logs?

I dont have the transaction log backups turned on.
However it did let me restore to last week via database backup.
Any other possibilities?

Much appreciated everyone. Thanks anyway.

The DB's are hosted on an Equallogic LUN.
If snapshots are turned off on this LUN, is it possible to retrieve a previous version?
