Import/Recover Posts from Backup

Does anyone know of a way to import/recover posts from a backup into the current database?

I accidentally deleted my "Recycle Bin" catagorey, and I have a back up that is 3 weeks old and was looking at how to regain those post back into my current database.

Suggestions? Solutions that have worked?

Much appericated in advanced.

You could setup a test forum and try importing using the Impex script. Be sure you've tested this at least once before touching your live forums of course.

Run the following queries changing 777 to the threadid of the deleted thread.
Code:

INSERT INTO thread
(SELECT *
FROM thread7
WHERE threadid = 777)

Code:

INSERT INTO post
(SELECT *
FROM post7
WHERE threadid = 777)
