What actually gets changed when > updating to schema version 1220? Pretty much the entire database got modified in some ways. The character set conversion is a big, virtually undo-able change. Go with the week-old backup. If you don't, you /will/ have issues in the future--even when doing the upgrade from your current (now corrupt) database to the one required for 0.22. Even if you were to change the DBSchemaVer back to 1220 before upgrading to 0.22, your current MythTV is writing 0.21 information to the DB and ignoring all the 0.22 fields, etc. And, you may want to set up a more-frequent backup. I wrote a script (that should become a part of MythTV 0.22) that you can use for this. It determines the database information and pretty much everything else you need to make a backup. Use --help to find out how to use it. There's also a restore companion script (which you can use to restore the week-old backup). See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/332734#332734 for links to the scripts. Note, also, that there's no reason you need to do the "spring-cleaning" (i.e. just restore your week old backup and you're good to go). You can import the recordings that occurred in the last week with myth.rebuild_database.pl and use myth.find_orphans.pl to identify "unidentified" files in the recordings directories (or just stick the unidentified recordings into MythVideo, watch them there and delete them, and let Myth re-record them on re-run. Though this may seem like a lot of work, it's a /much/ better solution.
