Some of your losses, may be due to previous fails of your recovery having time to update (that is a background job) some of the the older recovery files.
(books that use the same tag or other common data may get updated when a change to that is made. Status is can be viewed on the Library icon menu)

Thanks for the info, theducks. I will slowly rebuild it to how it was before (with all info, descriptions, titles and authors and covers) and then I will read the manual again to see how best to keep it all updated properly for future backup and restores.
