How To Restore Overwritten iTunes Backup On Windows?

I am 100% sure that I had taken back of my iPhone 4 times before I restore the iPhone on windows 10 using iTunes. The backup folder created date (right click - properties) is also showing the date of backup I had created from 4 days back. Today When I connected my iPhone to the laptop, to restore the back up - F iTunes - using the F automatically sync data option - overwritten on the same folder without even asking me. Now when I am trying to restore the back up (of 24 GB data) - it is giving me nothing. Apple - we didnt expect this simple basic thing missed from you, Icing on the cake was disowning of the issue by the apple service agent. Really disappointed with the way he completely disowned the things and was in denial mode all the time, he was least interested in resolving the issue, he made up his mind that iTunes is the PERFECT solution available on this planet (sorry in this universe) and I must have done something wrong!!!!
