Is there a way to restore the default GPO's if you haven't backed them up?

Yes, for the 2 default gpo's (default domain and default domain controller policies) there is a tool called dcgpofix included with windows 2003, which you can run to get the 2 default policies back.

For the SBS policies you have to back them up from another server and then import them into the SBS server missing the policies, I am going to cover this process is another blog bost in the next couple of weeks.

if its a 2000 server there is a tool downloadable from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b5b685ae-b7dd-4bb5-ab2a-976d6873129d&DisplayLang=en

Hope that helps.
