Try to load you backup wallet first. Bitcoin-qt save up to 100 addressess for future using in the wallet to use in the future, so if you made less then 100 operations you are probably have all used privkeys in the old wallet.
As i know bitcoin-qt encrypt whole wallet not each address independently, so your plan probably not feasible.

if you encrypt your wallet - bitcoin deletes all unused addresses and refills key pool
