Mass import between file versions

[Gabe]

Can somebody tell me if there is a way to mass import records from an older version of the same file? Like say if a file crashes and I need to restore the data to a backup, or if I make layout changes and need to migrate the up-to-date data into the new version of the file before going live with it.

Right now I put together a script with about 50 import steps for each table that I need to update. It is annoying because it makes me re-enter the admin password for each table that is being imported.

Is there a better way?

Edit: I am just trying to figure out if you can import to all tables at one time.
