The current Nehrim automatically creates 4x normal autosaves.ess and 3x autosavelong.ess. That is at least 7x game saves.
In addition there are Quicksave (by default Quicksave is F5 and Quickload F9) and the manual save points,
which you should not only play technically, but mainly because of the engine.
Without a current saved game (before this problem) we can't help of course, because we would have the same problem.
But if you should play the old Nehrim version (non steam) and without OBSE, you have a very small chance by renaming your autosave.bak
to Autosave0.ess in your game folder.
PS: in Bethesda games, as well as in games from SureAI (same engine), it is often needed to save more than one savegame.
