Is it possible to import a Discourse backup as a category inside an alredy existing discourse isntance?

You can use the functionality for category export and import. Since it’s a command line tool you will be unable to use it from your Discourse for Teams instance. But this will work:

  • Create and download a backup from your Discourse for Teams instance
  • Restore it into a self-hosted temporary forum
  • Move all categories you want to keep into a single category
  • Create a category export file using the command line
  • Import it as a category into the destination forum
  • Delete the temporary forum
