As far as I know, Recovery Mode on iPhone is a way to either factory reset a device that is locked or restore from a previous backup. It is not designed to find a way to backup files not previously backed up after a catastrophic event.

I am one of those people who never back up anything and then crying about the lost data. This blog has a great article on how to back up ipad to mac https://applenapps.com/back-up-ipad-to-mac/ , maybe that will help. I promised myself i will start doing that too one day, especially after all the pictures from our vacation were accidentally deleted. Good luck and please let us know how it goes.
