Lost data

Before I understood the concept, I deleted some of my older incremental backups to make room. Now of course the whole backup is not functioning. I tried to contact Maxtor for their advice but all I get is a quote from Seagate starting at $700! Do you understand the file and folder structure for these incremental backups? Is there something I could do to make it think that the backup is functional. I realize I will lose the data from the backups I deleted but I'm hoping I won't have to kiss the whole thing goodbye. Thanks.
