[Dxbase] Recovering form disk corruption...

I'm recovering from a failed disk. The disk corruption affected my 
DXBase data base in such a way that it has (at least) lost all of the 
confirmed entities. When I try to reinitialize the tables, I'm presented 
with a popup that says "No current record" and the initialize tables 
process hangs. I have an older backup that is intact, but it's missing 
all of my most recent activity (several hundred QSOs) that has a lot of 
new countries.

What's the best way to add in the missing QSOs? Should I try to export 
the subset of new QSOs and then import them into the older but intact 
data base?
