  • Instead of restoring the main database to the current one, try to export all the data from the main to current one. So that you can have the both databases

  • You need to merge two databases. You cannot do this with backups, so restore to two different spots and then merge them.

  • generate the sql script for the main database and run that script in current database query analyzer. So , you can create the all table structures of main  under the current database. Then using Dts export the data from main to current one. so that you can have two databases
