You may not have taken any backups intentionally, but Ignition will create autobackups periodically and maybe one of those has some of the deleted tags.

These snapshots are in the data/db/autobackup folder of your Ignition installation directory.

It might be best to get in touch with support for help with saving what you currently have and then restoring the backups to see if the tags are there or not.
