    Is it possible to merge 2 database backups from my forum into one? It's a vbulletin forum (latest version) and i have one database with different members and posts than the other (they are both backups for the same forum) an i want to add the members and posts that aren't on my current database, but the other one, to it

    is it possible?

    First, if you have the "latest" backup it should include the members and posts from a "previous" backup. Is this not the case? Second, it is possible to merge the two if needed. There are tools for SQL Server that allow for this type of merging, but not sure about MySQL. We can do it manually too through the use of various SQL queries and commands. Let me know the status of the backups.

    well you see i make backups frequently but not frequent enough...

    i had my database with the most members on it on my account through my old host that suspended my acount for no reason, then i moved hosts but eventually i managed to retreive the database from my host that suspended my account and there was more members on that database so i want to merge them with the database that ppl have been registering on the past week since that

    god its hard to explain
