It's a bit late now, but I suppose you don't have backups?

As for how to help, what you provided was only marginally helpful. We
need a much more extensive overview of your setup and configuration,
versions, etc. before we can have any idea if we can help.

In the short term, don't try anything yourself without careful thought.
If the data is very valuable, consider hiring a data recovery firm near
you who can come and look at your setup.
