I have a site online. I backed up the site online to my local computer.

I did the following changes:
Created a new theme.(using Sky: a subtheme of Adaptivetheme )
Moved the blocks, and edited the menu structure.

I know the changes are small, but it took me nearly two weeks to get it done, in the mean time, lot of new content and users were added to the live website.

the problem is I can't upload my local copy as it(content and users) is outdated.

Uploading the theme is easy, but I don't know how to upload the structural changes that i have done to blocks and the menus.

are there any particular tables which have the structural information? so that I may just upload the local copy of the structure and not the content.

Is there a particular way to do this in Drupal? I am new to drupal, I have recently moved from Joomla to drupal.

In Drupal 8, configurations

In Drupal 8, configurations have been moved out of the database and so you won't have this problem, but until then the Features module will allow you to package up certain configurations. There is also Deploy module which is designed to transfer content.

There was a blog posted yesterday (see Drupal Planet) about exporting some configurations

Features are one of the things covered by Johan Falk in this video series

I just came across this module http://drupal.org/project/data_export_import

Haven't used it yet, but might be useful for your usecase.
