I wouldn't do that... it seems like something was already going wrong
with the disk when he did backup #103 since that file was already
missing. I would either restore everything from #102 and then
selectively as needed restore additional files from #103 or vica-versa
depending on which backup you trust more.
Editing the backup file and changing backup numbers is likely to cause more
problems than it helps unless you know what you are doing.
