If that is gone, you only get the default fields upon restore

The orginals were overwritten when I tried to restore. I do have the pre restore meta file that Calibre created in there.
I am really only concernced that I get the books and the basic meta data. I had tons of customizations that I have come to terms with losing. How do I get Calbre to recognize the other books. The move to the harddrvie only took the books that were in the "new" smaller library.
Would I use the "Add Books" function pull the metadata for each book from it's folder?
