Is there any kind of versioning for lists, or is an entry gone forever when deleted?

Recycle bin works in SharePoint 2010. If you're on SharePoint 2007, you're out of luck. Restore the entire site from backup and then grab the data you need.

I'm curious about your SP2007 comment. List items are recycled in SP2007, right? – Rob Wilson Feb 29 '12 at 4:03
Thanks for calling me out on this. I had a relapse... 2007 introduced it, I was thinking of 2003... tough getting old. – David Lozzi Feb 29 '12 at 13:39
Right there with you. – Rob Wilson Feb 29 '12 at 14:53

It could be restored from the recycle bin. Please check article below for broad understanding versions and recycle bin.

Note that versions protect you restore previous version of item/document whereas recycle bins help you restore deleted item/document.

Plan to protect content by using recycle bins and versioning (SharePoint Server 2010)
