This is what I'm getting, correct me if I'm wrong.
For all the talk about making things much much worse, you don't go to a backup unless things are already bad.
Bottom line your saying if you have to go to a backup,
restore a complete backup. That most likely an incremental step like restoring just the metadata.db file will prolong your frustration and in the long run cause more head banging or hair pulling.
