I am at work so this is off the top of my head but...

In the directory where you installed the desktop there will be a directory
PH0 or maybe PH1 look in there and see if you find some of your *.pdb's If
you recognize anything this is probably your old backup directory.

Simply place the contents of this directory in the new backup directory and
hotsync.
