I went to sleep, woke up, no Wi-Fi. Use PC with wired connection to access 192.168.50.1, was greeted with a initial setup page.

Painfully reconfigured the system again, discover Traffic Analyzer still retains data from previous day.

So not all data is lost. Can I still retrive a backup of the NVRAM?

No, there is no backup copy of nvram kept on the router. Any nvram settings that somehow remained (and weren't overwritten when you did the initial setup) would still be visible in the webUI. Traffic Analyzer data is different because it's stored in the /jffs partition rather than nvram.
