It is not possible to use WinBackup shortcuts to append previously deleted emails or other data over your current Outlook setup. If you attempt this you will revert back to your old Outlook data files and lose all emails and data from that date until present. You can restore your PST or OST files in full but you cannot append the deleted or missing files. If you are restoring to a newly installed version of Windows or to a different user, it is recommended that you restore your Outlook email data manually to avoid corruption of Outlook shortcuts and data. To perform this you should open Outlook and go to the File menu. Click on "Import From Another Program or File" and click on "Next". You will be prompted to select the file type to import from; highlight "Personal Folder File" and click on Next". You will now be asked to select your Outlook email data file; click on browse and locate the outlook.pst (or .ost) file you restored to My Documents using WinBackup. The next screen will ask you whether you want to restore the entire file (default) or just a folder. Leave all settings as they are and click on "Finish". Your emails and other data will be imported and will now be accessible from the Mail Folders window.
