Sort of what he ↑↑↑↑ said.
Not sure if it will do you any good but you could rename the one that's there to something like save_[...]_backup.json then copy the one from back up and do another restore and see what happens.
But its probably safer and faster to find the books you've added since the backup - use the Date Search tab in "Advanced Search" - binoculars to left of search bar - on the Date column, by default it contains the time stamp of when the book was added. Save those books to Disk somewhere.
Then restore the backup, preferably not over the 'broken' library, and then add the Books you just Saved to Disk to the restored library. Once your satisfied you have a working library you can delete the 'broken' one.
Then I suggest you find an incremental backup solution that suits your Operating and File Systems, hopefully that will encourage more frequent backups - daily even
