Norton won't help unless it was installed "before the fact" and Diskwarrior
needs a directory file to work and unfortunately that is exactly the file
you erased.
Two thoughts, since you called your volume "backup" do you have the
original? If not check out Version Tracker for Mac file utilities, I think
there are a couple there that may help.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/7846 this one may be of
help.
