Altered template, lost content

Hi, a client had lots of content in several redactor areas. We noticed there was a slight issue with the template and altered the redactor code slightly i.e. we changed ID names, Perch If names, etc... When we saved/refreshed all the content in the WYSIWYG areas has disappeared and the cached views are gone. I have tried to open the SQL DB to see if it's there and it's not. When we changed the redactor IDs and hit save, Perch seemed to delete the redactor content. Any idea how to get this back?!
