Alright, take out your backup and open it with a text editor.

(this is going ot be fun )

Now, search for the subjects.  When you see one, write down the ID_TOPIC (should be the second number in the query.. ie. INSERT INTO messages (NOT_THIS, THE_NUMBER_IS_HERE, ...)

Now, find the INSERTs for the ID_TOPICs.  Copy those into a text file.

Then find anything in the dump of messages that has that ID_TOPIC.  Copy those into that other text file too.

Now, 'restore' the backup you made in that other text file.

That *should* work.
