    here are the steps.

    1) Backup the Site B using this power shell

    Backup-SPSite http://SiteB -Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak
    2) run below restore site Bbacommand.
    Restore-SPSite http://Home-Path C:\Backup\site_name.bak -Force
    1st step will backup the siteb, then during the restore it will overwrite the Home. thats it you donw.
