Time Machine can be used to retrieve individual files, or even previous versions of files that still exist. You can also use Time machine to open the old files to copy text or whatever from them without fully retrieving them. Individual files can be retrieved from Time Machine in the Finder, or opened from Time Machine in whichever app they were created in (assuming the developer has included that functionality of course). The biggest "problem" with Time Machine is that is does store multiple copies of files when they have been changed, so it takes up more space than a simple syncing back (it's the same issues with Apple's silly "Versioning" system, which is a pain in the backside!). That's why I don't use Time Machine and prefer Carbon Copy Cloner. Most syncing backup apps can be set to keep copies of files no longer on the source drive, which would help in your situation even if another sync has been done since you emptied the Trash.
