I think this is a good short list of questions to be answered by
anyone asking the question asked by OP. It might also be useful to us
all whenever/ifever we engage in a periodic review of our own backup
practices. Ways of using computers can drift over time and practices
should change to follow. O

Boot in rescue mode, chroot to the backup drive and reinstall the
kernel...? I'm suspecting you need to update your initrd. I've had
similar problems and that was the missing link.

You would probably require two separate procedures.
I can recommend the backup2l package for Debian.
Very comprehensive as regards backup/reinstall choice.
