Is it possible to merge databses ?
Is it possible to merge databses ?
Of course databases with diferent groups in each.
You may export/import newsgroup/server lists.
If you want to merge article bodies you can copy .npr files (rename to <number>.npr - e.g. 12345.npr - where number is less than 16 millions if names coincide) and then run file menu->reset database, if you want small article bodies too you need to disable compact article storage in properties->general in the instance from which you copy the files.
There is no function to merge folder structure (file fld.dat) or kill filters, but it shouldn't take long.

okie thanks but I only want to merge the ng's and headers
Let me explain .....
I have a "Main" database with my servers and regular groups.
I explored some new groups and want to keep the headers cause is a large number and time to get them again, so I need to get them into the "Main" database.
Does Import/Export function do it ?
Thanks

no, headers are not merged.
the export/import newsgroup and server lists options are in the context menu of the newsgroups/servers entries respectively in the workspace window.
if you don't need all the headers you can set retention or last headers in properties->newsgroups so it won't download everything again.
