I connected my brothers 6plus to my iTunes and i showed that i could back up his old 5 info or a new phone so i chose the 5 and now all of his 6plus data is gone! how do i get it back?

i connected my brothers iPhone 6plus onto my iTunes and it showed up that i could choose to back it up as a new phone or to an existing iPhone so i chose his old iPhone 5 and after the backup he went on his phone and everything that he had from his iPhone 6plus was gone and changed to what he had on his old iPhone 5! how can i get all the pictures and contacts from his 6plus back onto it?

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.
