I think you need to do this.

On the file that you were modifying you need to locate all of the modified
individuals and export those to a new database, and then merge that file
back into your original file.

You can find the modified records by using the search to look for everyone
with an update date after you started working on the wrong file. Then put a
tag on those entries and use the export against those by using that tag.

Merging those, and only those, will mean that they will be the only ones to
merge.
