I want to move a thread from a backup database to my current database. Is this possible at all? Somehow I doubt it. They are stored on seperate servers.

You can try to do it manually, but it's kind of dirty. I did this once on my vB2 forum to restore deleted posts.
You can restore the backup to a live database so you can view it using a program like phpmyadmin. Then find the thread's record in the thread table, and all of the thread's post's records in the post table and dump them to a sql file. Then run that dump file on your live database.
There are other considerations like post attachments, unique recordids, etc. Backup everything first. You will probably need to update your various counters afterwards:
