First, capitalizing every word doesn't inspire anyone to help...
As for your question, I'm pretty sure backups don't work that way. The backup includes a list of packages, but I don't think it has the version information. If the information is there, it's not used, else restoring a backup after an upgrade would downgrade all the packages. To check what versions of a package are available from your repos, do an apt-cache search <package>; if the version you want is available, you can do (as root) an apt-get install <package>=<version> to install that version. |

FYI, when I restored my backup, the packages were not reinstalled (I don't remember, but perhaps I had asked not to save package names in the backup). |

The available versions are listed by apt-cache policy <package>. If that's showing inaccessible packages, you can do an apt-get update to refresh the cache.
