All page content gone from magazine except today's work

Question

I am working on a 120 page magazine, and have been for several months. I went in yesterday and today to add 4 articles, and saved my work after completing each page, and exported each article as a separate PDF (single pages). I typically just work on the next empty page, as the client gives me the official layout/page order at the end. I scrolled back a short while ago to view the previous pages, and all pages except those I did in the last two days are blank. Totally empty. No photos, no logos, no content. The master pages are intact, but the 90+ completed pages are just blank. Is there any chance of getting the content restored? My last backup copy is from too long ago - only covers 40 pages of almost 100. Oh, please tell me there is a way to save this work!

Might be a little late for this workflow - but I always copy a file to an folder called "Old" then rename the file I am editing to a new version number.
