iTunes has a nasty habit of deleting the previous backup every time it does a backup. If you really have an old backup intact, there is a way to restore from it. It’s a good idea to manually go into your backup directory and manually copy it over to a new name once in a while. That way iTunes won’t touch it, and you can use it in an emergency such as yours.
