I haven’t had to do this, but I can think of 2 approaches. First create a new database from your backup.
Then if you have a lot of events and sources attached to the individual, do an export to another legacy database of just your one individual, then import that one individual database in to your current database and relink to family. If only a limited amount of basic data, just bring up your current database, create the entry for the individual (as part of the family), then in split screen mode open the corresponding individual record in the database created from the backup and copy/paste or retype the data items.

Importance: High Am working with Legacy8. Accidentally deleted an individual from my main Legacy file. I want to copy that individual from a fairly old Legacy8 file to the main file without doing a merge…just want to end up with the deleted individual back in the index list in the main file so I can link her to the husband and children that are now lacking a wife/mother. Would really appreciate any ideas how to do this.
