The responses are in the database. The database isn't in the Limesurvey folder. So you need a database export (via LimeSurvey or via other tools). The folder files aren't enough for restoring the responses.

If you did not back up the database and if you do not have any access to the old server anymore, I am sorry to tell you, but there is no way to access the results of this survey.

When I have a research in the field, I download the results on a regular basis, even if fieldwork hasn't finished, just to make sure.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
