Unless there have been recent changes that change the behavior of the Restore from Backup, the Notes folder should appear in the hierarchy of restored files if there were recently deleted notes. Is it possible that your girlfriend neglected to tell you promptly that the notes were gone? The restore is only guaranteed to give you back items deleted within the last 7 days.

One desperate thing to check if the notes were deleted over 1-2 weeks ago ... Is there an external IMAP mail client, such as Thunderbird, that has been used in the past but not recently? If so, disable your network connection, and then open the mail client. Hopefully, the Notes folder will be there, and you can save them to a local folder before connecting back to the network.
