Specifically, read:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore#Database_Restore
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore#Partial_restore_of_a_backup
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore#Partial_restore_when_upgrading_MythTV

and then, once you've gotten through reading all those sections, you'll 
realize you want:
