Using Joomla 1.53/Virtuemart. I have two very similar sites...they both carry the same products, just branded differently.
yourhoop.com
and
nashvegashoops.com
Every once in awhile, I get way ahead on one site updating it with new products and information and would like to export products from yourhoop.com and import them into nashvegashoops.com.
The way I was trying to do it results in:
Unable to read the database backup file /hsphere/local/home/imaginea/nashvegashoops.com//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!
I am unclear on whether or not you can import tables of a database into same named existing tables in another database. I barely limp through phpMyAdmin and guess I'm not searching for the right terms to find my answer.
Help?

Hi there! The error you have there is not related to a mysql query, you seem to not have a mysql backup available for import for some reason!
When restoring just a database from a backup file, do not check the "skip files restore..." option, and second, you should make a restore with this option checked "Install files directly"
If all is configured correctly, it should work, also make sure that when you generate a backup, you also check the "Add DROP Syntax" option from the Generate Backup screen-> Database options tab so you replace any existing tables on restore
Let me know if you have further issues! Regards, Ovidiu
