My company is consolidating all of the discourse instances that individual groups created and maintained into a singular instance. We were able to backup and restore one of the instances into this new “shared” instance before I joined this team & project. I am trying to determine how difficult it will be to migrate the remaining disparate instances into this shared instance. Do I have to worry about primary key collisions or is there a utility that can be leveraged to avoid db backup/restore issues? Any advise is welcome.

See [Merge two Discourse sites into one](https://meta.discourse.org/t/merge-two-discourse-sites-into-one/95435). When I did it last I had to make a few edits to the script to make it work. I can’t quite remember what they were.
