You didn't necessarily delete it. You may have just deleted the alias (in windows, that would be a shortcut). Open the Applications folder, and see if it's still in there. If so, you're fine! Also, make sure in >System Preferences... that there is a "Time Machine" entry. If not, follow Kappy's steps.
Since you're new to mac, you may want to look at:
Mac 101 and
Swich 101.
Good luck!
