Are all of your addresses showing up in the "Receive coins" tab?

Sorry to hear that. Yes, recently created keys are probably gone 
To prevent loosing your BTCs in future, add keypool=somelargenumber to bitcoin.conf. Default value is 100, so you need to back up your wallet after every 100 used addresses.
To recover most of your bitcoins, use most recent backup you have.

So I had a machine crash. I was not that worried I had several backups of wallet.dat.
I wiped the .bitcoin directory and coppied wallet.dat and waited for blockchain download.
I was surprised that a ballance came up almost at once and that it was about 1200 BTC short, but I waited for the download.
Now the download has completed, it seems that many transactions are missing, payments to addresses created a long time ago seem present. Those to recently created addresses not so.
I have done a bitcoin --rescan, and that made no difference.
Now the various backups of wallet.dat that I have are significantly different in size.
Perhaps I just have to do the reload with a different, older or bigger wallet.dat?
Advice?
