Hello Team,
I lost my retention.dat file due to space issue in the server during nagios service restart . Is there any way to restore the old service states and scheudled downtimes and all the services are now in pending state (kind of new service added)

Unless you happen to be running
ndoutils, and that database hasn't been overwritten, I'm pretty sure that data is gone.
You could probably parse some of that information out from the Nagios logs, but converting it to a proper retention.dat file would be a pain.

I also do not know of any way to retrieve the old retention.dat other than from backups you would have had.

Yes. If you do the following it will get you close.
stop nagios
copy your latest backup status.dat to where your retention.dat is
start nagios
