It is too late to do a backup. You need to restore it first. See here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306. Hopefully you have a recent backup from before this started that you can restore. If not, unfortunately you will lose everything.

Unfortunately you can't. Once the phone has been disabled your data is gone.
