It´s easy.

Put in alfresco-global.properties
index.recovery.mode=FULL

Too, delete de index folder and backup index folder (lucene-indexes) and when you start alfresco, index will be create.

Hi abhaychaware
Documenting how to back up and restore is described here:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore

I recommend you make a cold backup, with Alfresco stopped. Once you want to restore, with Alfresco stopped, you should:
1 - Restore the copy of the database
2 - Copy the entire contents of the folder alf_data
3 - In some places recommended to delete the contents of the folders backup-lucene-index and lucene-index.
4 - repository.properties file you have to do is put the property index.recovery.mode = FULL
5 - Start Alfresco and begin to restore the index. Once refurbished, this property should be left to index.recovery.mode = AUTO.

The performance of the restoration of the copies is based on the version you have of Alfresco, the database manager, operating system, the hardware you are using etc …

There is a post where they write some tips to retrieve the index:

In manual data backup and recovery is essential to have a copy of the database and repository. I think if you lack either of these two components can not retrieve the repository. I have read some cases similar to yours in the forum and there is no solution, at least I do not know.

You must start from a clean installation and do not forget to backup properly to the next time .. Sorry

If you have an ACP files with all repository content then you can do the import action with alfresco web client. But the import will be in a alfresco instance clean.
