Backup and restore – account migration

One question that has just occurred to me:

Can the migration feature as currently constituted cope with a second import from the same account? I can imagine this happening in the following scenario.

  • Pod A goes down and is down for a while. I decide to open a new account on Pod B, because it looks as though Pod A is dead.
  • I open an account on Pod B and import a back-up taken a month before Pod A went down, because that’s better than nothing.
  • Later, Pod A goes online once again. Great! I can now migrate my account with all the up-to-date information to Pod B.

When I do this, will it:
a) fail with an error;
b) duplicate the content that was part of my earlier import;
c) recognise a previously imported account from the key and refuse to proceed with the migration;
d) recognise previously imported content and correctly skip that content?
