Tracy,

If you did a start recovery, then you will lose the changes.   A start norecovery would have saved your changes.

The product you are looking for is part of the autorestart package.   Dump to disk, it requires a separate dump-to-disk volume set.   Very easy to set up, takes no more than 10 minutes to do a full dump on a fibre connected n-class.

I will e-mail you off-line.
