So the question is WHY was that missing?
was there some update you recently did that may have affected many books and the queue did not finish before you tried to restore
those file queue for restore use. you can check the queue count (Library Metadata Backup Status) right near the Restore Database
Those books have been lost for a while (although, I would expect phase 2 to have shown them)
Oh yeah, I was a dumbass and decided to restore before the metadata queue was updated.

I basically found the books missing their .opf file, then moved them over to a blank library, let the .opf files catch up in that little library, then moved them back. Saved having to wait for the queue. I can't remember what I did to actually find them in the first place, but I was able to. Somwhow between a blank library just using the old metadata and backup.json and the new libary missing the books I was able to merge the missing ones with their correct metadata and then blend them back in.
