Where does nginx store vhosts config while running

Question

I have accidentally replaced my vhost file in sites-available in nginx. The file contained a lot of 301 redirects, which are still working while the reload command is not run. Does nginx store the files loaded from sites-available while running so that I can copy and restore it or do I have to write the entire file again?

Thanks a lot.

Run nginx -T to get a dump of the current running configuration. This requires nginx 1.9.2 or later.

And for the love of gawd, set up backups.
