Since you weren't using the agent, how were you backing it up?  Given the 
scenario you describe, though, I'm fearing the answer is that you weren't.  
There are a number of possiblities here:

1. You weren't shutting down the DB during backup, so the file was apparently 
open and changing during backup.  The file was therefore skipped and isn't 
available for restore.
2. The database is on raw partitions which aren't backed up by default.
3. You were backing up the database using a script and "dump database" to disk, 
but you didn't back up THAT file.

How WERE you backing it up?
