Lost all my SMS/MMS when I let Google setup restore most recent

I wiped my phone and installed a new rom for a couple hours, received one text during that time. Then I wiped again, installed a fresh AICP rom, and let Google Setup restore my most recent backup from the cloud. It only restored the one message, and I lost a couple years worth of messages.

Is there a way to restore my messages from the cloud backup, to a certain point-in-time?

Thanks!
Mike

If you go back to stock and restore that backup you should get all your messages. I had the same issue on ROMs that sms was not restoring. Even though Google does a pretty descent job backing up I use sms backup and restore also. It's free and can backup anywhere (google drive,device,email etc.) That way you never have to worry again.
