Can I recover it with Timemachine?

Yes, but backing up Entourage in Time Machine is not advised. If the
database is copied while in use, it can result in a corrupt backup. Each
time any data is added to the Entourage database the entire database has to
be backed up. The default hourly backups of Time Machine that includes your
Microsoft User Data folder can cause slow downs and fill up your drive most
likely with a corrupt backup. See these article for alternatives.

Entourage and Time-Machine-like backup (creates chronological backup of
Identity can be used by both Tiger and Leopard allowing you to roll back to
previous dated backups.

Alternative method to use Entourage and Time Machine (does a once a day or
whatever time period you select) This quits Entourage and the Microsoft
Database daemon allowing for once a day backup into Time Machine.
