How to migrate content edits in Drupal from staging to live environment
I use readonlymode when migrating my sites, which I daily do to migrate localhost content to remote host.
I use drush's sqlq command to restore which better than BackupRestore module.

For proper migration, you must compare sites/all folder with that of live one. You also need to copy sites/default/files to the live one.

My typical restore goes like as in this Perl script:

chdir ("$home/public_html/$site") or die "Unable to change to site dire=$home/$site\n";

( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst ) =   localtime(time);

$mon++;

$year += 1900;

my $file = "$inputdir/$prefix-sql-dmp-$mday-$mon-$year.sql";

-r "$file.gz" or die "$file.gz does not exists\n";

#compare modules
my $modulesfile="$inputdir/$prefix-all-$mday-$mon-$year.tar.gz";
my $modulesdir="$home/public_html/$site/sites/all";
if( -f $modulesfile)
{
run_cmd("$home/scripts/gij-restore/dircmp.sh $modulesfile $modulesdir");
}
run_cmd ("gunzip $file.gz");

run_cmd ("drush cc all");

run_cmd_ignore ("drush cron");

run_cmd ("drush vset site_readonly 1");

run_cmd ("drush sqlq --file=$file");

run_cmd_ignore ("drush pm-disable --yes devel ");

run_cmd ("drush cc all");

run_cmd_ignore ("drush cron");

run_cmd ("drush vset site_readonly 0");

unlink "$file" or die "Failed to delete $file";

print "Site restore success\n";

sendemail($site,"Restore success!");
