I copied and restored whole drupal folder so i guess there is no
point of missing .htaccess file
i used
cp -r /var/www/drupal/ ~/DATA     (for backup)
cp -r ~/DATA/drupal /var/www      (for restoring)

Note that cp does not copy "hidden" files (files that begin with
.) by default.
Since you specified /var/www/drupal/ (with the trailing /) it only
selected the "normal" files in that directory. I think if you had
specified the source as /var/www/drupal (with without the slash)
then you get the hidden files.

but I can clearly see .htaccess file in /var/www/drupal

You may have set a option to default to showing hidden files, or using a different tool that shows them. On *nix systems, file names that begin with . are special and considered "hidden", and many utilities do not work on them by default. For example, ls the normal file listing tools, only shows these files if you give the -a option.
