Could you be more specific about what you mean by "with bigger size of data as 
before"?

If I understand correctly, it sounds like your secondary server was running as 
the primary for a week.  So you need to make your new primary server into a 
secondary, syncronise the data and then you can reverse the roles of the two 
servers (i.e. resume operations as they were before your motherboard 
problems.)
