Can I Merge or Split Companies Across Databases/Backups?

Business entities cannot be merged between backups/databases, however they can be split up. Splitting databases might be useful in cases where a solid chain of backing up has not been achieved between multiple user PCs.

To split entities into separate dbs/backups:

Make a backup with both companies
Delete company B
Create backup with remaining company A
Restore original (two company) backup
Delete Company A
Create backup with remaining company B
