Rrdtool dump, edit or parse through a script and rrdtool restore.

Or:

- create a database with the same properties
- rrdtool dump both databases
- count the lines before the week starts -> X lines
- count the lines until the week ends -> Y lines
- count the total amount of lines -> Z lines
- W = Z - X
- V = Y - X
- U = Z - Y

And then something like:

(head -X oldfile;tail -W newfile | head -V;tail -U oldfile) > resultfile
Rrdtool restore resultfile
