[@samihansawant7910]

You have earned my Sub, and my Respect. Thank you for saving days worth of work. Had lost all my .drp files. Luckily had .db files backed up but didn't know how to use those. Thank you for this clear and awesome tutorial!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re welcome! Glad I could help! Thanks for the sub!

[@Mudimbi.]

THANK YOU JASON!! THANK YOU ❤️‍🔥😭❤️‍🔥

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thank you so much for your support! I appreciate it, glad the video is helpful!

[@IronsideGeorge]

YOU SIR, ARE AN ABSOLUTE FREAKIN LIFE SAVER. I COULD HAVE CRIED AFTER I LOST ALL MY PROJECTS. THANKYOU THANK YOU THANKYOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome!

[@HikingWithCooper]

Buddy, you just saved months of editing. A project I've been working on for about 16 months went bad I think bc of Fusion overload. I have some backups but restoring this auto backup only lost me part of a day. The process was definitely not intuitive so thank you for explaining it with your normal clarity. You're my go-to when I run into issues like this so thank you for doing what you do.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, glad to see this video helped you get your project back! Remember to back up the database frequently as well just to make sure you don’t lose anything. 😜😁👍

[@Rteam-]

@@JasonYadlovski yeap, this video helped!

[@jeanmarclariviere5869]

Your videos have saved me upteenth hours but no more so than this one. For those who thought they had lost projects, I dare say it may be the most important Resolve video of all times!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Glad it was helpful!

[@batmancalmedthestray]

Thanks! You saved me hours of a potential re-edit!! Have a cup of coffee on me. I had this "great idea" of syncing my Resolve Database between my work and home computers so I always have the most recent project files in either location. (I can't use Blackmagic Cloud due to Firewall restrictions). At some point my sync overwrote the Database in the wrong direction...operator error I'm sure. This video helped me find the backup on one of my computers and get me right back on track! I appreciate all your insights into Fairlight and sharing your knowledge with the community. Thanks for being at Resolvecon '23!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thank you so much for your support! I appreciate it very much. Glad you were able to pull some of the backups. Yeah without BM Cloud, the best thing to do is keep the databases on the internal drive, then just export the project file to bring back and forth. Then you can keep your media on an external drive and just bring that will you too.

[@theWilburM]

You saved my life, thank you. I realized when following your instructions that I had an old user.db and that made everything recovered. Sometimes it just helps to have someone go through the step by step to see things you didn't see on the wrong path. Cheers.

[@JasonYadlovski]

I agree, it’s always helpful to watch other people do something even if you already know how to do it. I do that all the time! 😁

[@ChaseArrington]

You are an incredible human. You literally saved me. We moved in the middle of a large project and somehow these files just went away. I was literally putting things back together piece by piece off of our draft. Followed every step here and BAM it worked like a charm. Wow, I'm so ecstatic. I owe you one man. Thank you!!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome! Glad you got your work back! 😁

[@1n20DnD]

You are a life saver, Jason! This was exactly what I needed. My old hard drive died, and I had to start fresh on a new one. So all the project info got "lost". This trick allowed me to restore ALL my projects by just copying ALL the backup folders (which, luckily, were on an external drive!) to the project folder and viola! Everything restored with just a few clicks. I'm so grateful!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, glad you didn’t lose everything were able to get it back!

[@The_soundaddict]

I was about to call it quits and start my project all over again with a huge POUT. Thank you so much! You mentioned it was going to be difficult to do this but I think you made it very easy. You're a life saver!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, glad it helped!

[@olusolaadeaga]

you really saved me hours of work. I formatted the drive where the project was, so the only solution is to use your technique and it worked perfectly. I got the rushes back and connected everything. Thanks again

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, glad you didn’t lose everything!

[@SwimSherpa]

Thanks! I'll give it a try...at least you've given me hope...

[@JasonYadlovski]

[@hdframesproductions4175]

You know what Jason, you saved my project. I accidently deleted my project library and unable to connect or load my edited project. I tried my best to find a solution for it and suddenly this video come-up. This is exactly I was looking for. Thank you so so much. Straightaway I subscribed to your channel. Please keep it up and make videos related to specific issues and problems.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome! Glad the video helped recover the project! Thanks for the sub, welcome to the community!

[@JossMars]

Here I am backing up projects for years now and had hard drive failure and try to access the backups and was like whaaaaaa. Such a convoluted way to restore it but so glad you made this video. Still a lot of work going through all these projects but this is so helpful. Tahnks

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re welcome! This is the last ditch way. Backing up the database is the best way, then you can just restore it and have all the projects. Accessing the backups from the project manager is the easiest method if possible.

[@dskaterkid]

There's already so many comments saying the same thing but you just saved me from a mental breakdown and possible flesh/electic shock wounds from putting my fist through my monitor. Bless your sould you sweet inteligent man

Dude I love you. For whatever random reason all my projects vanished but I managed to find backups and just restore them through this method. For a while I thought I had lost multiple days of work.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Awesome, glad this worked!

[@wazupshaggy]

Mate you're a bloody lifesaver. Had a project I'd been working on and saving, had done a heap of edits and exported, but for whatever reason none of the work saved in DVR itself. I have the backups, but couldn't work out how to restore them. Your instructions to locate them, create a new Project folder, copy the back DB into the folder, rename the file to remove the date worked an absolute treat. I have all my edits once again and seriously relieved to not have to re-edit everything! Thank you so much!

[@excellenttenants1955]

Thank you - SAVED ME.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome and thank you so much for the super thanks! I appreciate it more than I can say in words here. 🙏 Thank you!

[@ralphthompson8085]

Great insight Jason. Many thanks. I'd moved my whole HD to an external SSD and after a few snags all seemed fine except, none of my Davinci Resolve Projects were accessible. Your clever suggestion saved the day, I had literally spend the whole day trying to recover a whole series of Projects that I could see in the weird format you describe, but didn't know how to handle them. Big relieve. Many thanks.

Thank you for this! Saved me about a weeks worth of reconstructing ongoing projects after an unexpected forced hard drive wipe! Never had to transfer/backup databases before since I'm a relatively new DR user and I wasn't sure I had the project.db on an external hard drive. Very clear steps & easy to follow. I have everything back

You don't know me Jason, but I love you!! I've been working on a full feature for over a year and my huge timeline with thousands of files disappeared. I thought my life was over! But thanks to you I managed to get it all back!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Oh man! Glad you got it all back! Sounds like a big project, hope it comes out awesome!

[@FaresManners]

@@JasonYadlovski Thanks, I hope so too. 7 months of work, over 3000 files, 50 timelines and 1 week away from deadline. Needless to say I was in shock when it all disappeared :)

[@JasonYadlovski]

😮 that’s a huge project! Glad you got it all back. Make sure to back up your database to. 😜

[@cannontrain]

Hi Jason, I have a project that crashed after changing the fonts on a 3d text, when I try to re open that project nothing shows up, I assume it keeps crashing when I open that project in ponticular. The problem is I don't have any back ups of previous version to go back. Do you know if there's anything I can do? 🙁 Or is the project lost for good?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! Sorry to hear Resolve crashed and you lost some work, that stinks. Do you have Resolve set up to save the backups at all? For example, if you right click on the project in the Project manager and go to Project Backups, is there anything there? If there is nothing there and nothing like I show in this video, I don't think there is anything you can do. Sounds like it might be gone. Any chance you have your computer continuously backing up somewhere? Maybe you could pull it from there....🤔

[@cannontrain]

I will check that out, thanks for the help 🙂

[@BedouinBangali]

The best channel for DaVinci tutorials. Recently my os crashed and i had to reinstall davinci and could not figure out how to recover the project I was working very hard on. You just saved my ass Jason. Thank you so much. 😭❤🙏

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it and it means a lot. I do my best to make good videos and help as many people as I can learn resolve and troubleshoot. Any issues. 😁

[@felipefenton]

So, so helpful. I almost ditched Resolve as my main editor because I couldn’t figure out a way to use auto-saves if the database became corrupt or inaccessible. THANK YOU!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome! Lots of ways to make sure you're backed up in 18 - live save, timeline backups, database backups and loading the files in this video.

[@warrenpickering]

It was an even bigger issue for me in that I'd lost 18 months of videos, but this process has worked for the first of 30 videos, slow, but nowhere near as slow as rebuilding each edited video from scratch, so a huge thanks from me!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re welcome! Glad you were able to get your projects back!

[@TheMidnightSmith]

MY DUDE!!! You saved me so much! Whole computer went down, project not in the manager, I thought it was gone for good! This worked! I had to restart after the pasting of the backup, but it worked!!!

there is a timeline backup you can click on timeline in your media pool and backup the timeline (in case you deleted many clips without noticing)

[@JasonYadlovski]

Yes, a great new feature in 18.5. 👍

[@parichehrazahib]

Thank you. This saved me. My project got lost from the project list after i tried to access my NAS from remote location. Months of work just before the client deadline. I managed to restore it using this method.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Great to hear!

[@2K_Saint]

You legit saved me from jumping off the balcony (figuratively of course). My goodness, thought I lost months of editing... I think a huge tip for anyone out there that loses project.db files in the upgrade/downgrade mess like I just did (first, backup everything of course)....is that there is a chance that the folder is hidden somewhere other than the spot it's supposed to be. I was ready to buy a data recovery software....and by using the free trial to scan my system it was able to find where the files were when my Mac search wasn't able to. They were in a multi numbered folder RIGHT BESIDE my resolve projects folder. I'm new to Resolve, so maybe that's an obvious, but it was definitely a scary few hours lol. Thanks again Jason!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Glad the video helped! 😁👍

[@ParzivalTheThird]

This still isn’t working for me. My original project folder is there, on my drive with the rest of the projects in my database. The db file is inside, in fact it never left. But when I open DaVinci, that one project is missing. If I try to create a new one like in this video, it doesn’t show up either. Am I just simply screwed? Going into my backups, I can see the jumbled file that is clearly my last save of this project (created last night at the last time I remember saving). But unlike for you, all my backup files are simply titled “Timeline.20240212160240” or something like that. None of them have db in them. The only db files are found in my project folders. Is there anything I can do?

[@ManaCharitraManaSamskriti]

same problem with me too did you find any solution for that?

The files in the backup folders say "Timeline.(Numbers)" instead of "Project.DB." ?

[@JasonYadlovski]

That could be because Resolve now backs up individual timelines as well. They are probably specific timelines inside of a particular project.

@@JasonYadlovski thanks for the reply! I had a little play around and figured out that I had selected resolve to back up timelines and not projects so cool feature but unfortunately lost my entire project :/ so defo need to remember that one ahah

[@heightshost3259]

Hey Jason, thanks so much for your videos - they have been super-helpful in getting me started in Davinci Resolve over the past month or so! Just a quick note about the "random numbers" at the end of the dp file names. Those are actually the time the project was saved. So for instance, the last auto backup listed in the auto backup window in your video was 20210914133738, or, to break it down in a format that's easier to read, 2021 09/14 13:37:38, so that was saved on September 14th, 2021 at 1:37:38 PM (13:37:38 in military time / 24h format). I've found those additional numbers helpful in figuring out what backup I wanted to go to so I hope this helps!

You're welcome! Make sure to turn on Backups, Live Save and backup the database often! 😜 Best of luck on the project.

Hi, thanks for this very clear and complete video. I juste restore a Windows 10 project file (Project.db.xxxxx) from a hard drive to a fresh Windows 11 install. Juste so you know, there weren't any "Resolve Disk Database" in the C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve directory. The real location was C:\Users\[my-windows-user-name]\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Resolve Disk Database The "Reveal File Location" button helped a lot. Thank you again!

Hi! You’re welcome! You may need to show hidden folders to see it. It’s also assuming that you already have created a database when you first opened Resolve.

Hello, I need urgent help. I accidentally deleted the company's projects. Your video is very good. I was able to recover some projects, but how can I recover those projects that I accidentally deleted and do not have a backup like the ones in your video? Regards.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! Any chance you had automatic backups turned on or maybe you backed up your database recently? That would be the only way to get it back unless you have something else backing up your computer that would also have your database included in that.

[@engelguerrero]

@@JasonYadlovski Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I have automatic backups because I always keep them active, where can I find them on a Mac? Regards.

[@JasonYadlovski]

To see where the backups are going, open Preferences, then Select User at the top, then Project Load and Save on the left. You'll see 'backup location' under Save Settings.
