Yes, the missing versions between you backup and the current working
copy are lost and your working copies can only be used to re-commit
the missing data in which ever order you like best. So move them out
of the way, create new working copies and integrate the data from your
old working copies by e.g. just copying the data on file system level.
A real subversion merge will not be possible.

You should re-consider your backup strategy, most people use svnsync
or another incremental backup method in post commit hooks or whatever.
