Nope. Your screwed bud! Use different gamer profiles for different oblivion characters.

I over-wrote my older character's last savegame with my newer character just the other night. There is NO way to get it back.

Fortunately, I had copied my savegames to my jumpdrive that very morning. If I hadn't, that older character's previous savegame was something like 50 hours earlier. As it is, I lost 3 hours of intense gameplay (and even that REALLY sucked!!).

I recommend backing up to other media such as a jumpdrive every couple days (like, what if your hard drive crashes or something?).
