Hi - I just tried doing what you suggest, locating the "old" backups is somehow tricky, it seems that I only have newer once (after the restore event) - I located the backup folder by typing Got to Folder => /volume and the screen shoot shows what I get,
The MobileBackups folder contains only the Local Snapshots -- on your internal HD. Not what you want.
there is also a time machine back up icon on my desktop
Those are your "real" backups, on your Time Capsule. If it's still there, select that and double-click it to open it. Then you'll see another Backups.backupdb folder, like the one in the pink box in #B6.
If it's not still there, follow the instructions in the green box of #B6 to get it back.
