I think that the settings for all form plugins are stored in params in the #__fabrik_forms table in your Joomla database.
If they are no longer appearing in Fabrik, they are probably not in the database either. So I suggest you probably need to recover your database from backup. :-(

Also, are you seeing any JS errors when you load the form settings?
Those plugin settings are loaded via AJAX calls during page load, so if there are any JS errors on the form, that can short circuit the loading of the plugin params.
Re:
We store everything in our database tables, unless you specifically opt to use a file in those cases where we give you the option to either use a file, or inline code.
So ... make sure you back up your database regularly, and (equally importantly) keep at least some historical backups. In other words, don't just maintain a single nightly backup. Keep a weekly backup, and a monthly backup. That way, if something horrible does happen and you lost a bunch of work, and didn't notice till the next day, such that your nightly backup got overwritten ... you can recover it from your weekly / monthly backup.

Are you saying you have restored them succesfully?

Yes code is restored. Code was still in SQL database.
What I mean by loosing code ad do not see code on form generation window is. If you open fabrik Form and plugin php then there is only Add button. All the buttons php and codes under it are gone.
I suspect that the problem was in one code that contains HTML. Code generates from HTML pdf file and sends it to email. Also tags are used there. I think if the HTML is too complicated then my mentioned problem happens. HTML is generated from excel file (saved as html). This problem has already happened twice, but for final conclusion more investigation has to be done.
Why i used HTML in php code is the reason that only then tags {} are working. I did test linking html file to php code but tags didn't work then.
