You can attach both databases to the same server (with different names) and then query against both databases using the 3-part naming convention. For example, you would write queries such as:
SELECT
	customerid,
	lastname
FROM
	dec_database_bkp.dbo.Customers
UNION 
SELECT
	customerid,
	lastname
FROM
	jan_database_bkp.dbo.Customers
You can do similar things for joining tables, views etc. as well.
