HI Don, Yes sorry to hear about the earthquake but pleased no one was hurt.
Dirvish should automatically use the last successful image? If you want to force it to use a backup you know has data in it then use the --reference parameter. For example: dirvish --vault=mydata --reference=20090401 You probably want to add --dry-run to check out what it will do before you actually run it but you should see the 'link-dest' as being referenced to the last good image you have specified. If you have lots of successful but empty backups then you probably need to check out your base dirvish config first or you will just get another empty successful backup!
