I regularly backup tbird using Mozbackup. I delete emails from my inbox or shift them to local folders for storage. What I want to know is how to restore from an earlier backup but keep emails that have arrived since that back up. As far as I can seen, when I restore, everything current is overwritten so that all later emails are lost. Is there any way to restore old emails without losing the newer ones?

if you know what your doing the answer is yes. but it involves renaming the backup to a zip, extracting files manually and importing them into Thunderbird using the import export tools.
