I think that squid rebuilds that file on startup if it isn't there.
It might take a looooooonngg time though

Alternatively, squid should have the file open. If it's still running,
a reference to that file should be somewhere in /proc/<pid>/fd/<fd>,
you might be able to copy it from there. But then you're copying a
snapshot - by the time you restart squid to use the new file, it might
have changed and you're using an inconsistent swap.log file. That
might give a lot of strange problems.
