backing up and restoring a single forum

[jjj0923]

I mistakenly deleted a forum on one of my site today.

I have a backup of the entire database but do not want to restore the db becuse it's about 5 days old and lots of new data has been added to the production db since then.

the forum I want to restore only had a few posts in the last 5 days but is very valuable.

does anyone know how I can go about

I know how to restore the old db

but then I want to export JUST one forum and restore the new db, then import the selected forum into the new db.

Ideas on how to do this?

thanks in advance.
