I'm, operating Davinci Resolve Studio 18 (DR18) which is installed on my "D" Drive. I'm operating on Windows 11.
I moved my desk and unplugged all my hard drives, which should not matter as "D" is internal. However, I thought I would mention it as when I turned everything back on again all my DR18 projects were gone. As were my Smart Bins and Power Bins.
I have a bunch of "timeline.########" (the # represents random numbers in the files I have) files in D:\Resolve Install\Resolve Project Backups
In case someone asks when I follow the path: C:\Users\Cyndy-Lynn\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Resolve Disk Database - there is nothing there.
I've tried "File>Import Timeline" from the edit page of DR18 I route to the "D:\Resolve Install\Resolve Project Backups" and the "timeline.########" files do not appear.
I've tried (on the home screen of DR18) Right Click> "Import Project" and "Restore Project Archive" from the "D:\Resolve Install\Resolve Project Backups" and the "timeline.########" files do not appear.
I've tried "Other Project Backups" and there is nothing there.
Edit: I forgot to mention that in my DR18 preferences the backups go to: "D:\Resolve Install\Resolve Project Backups" which is the same folder I'm trying to restore from.
I feel like I've exhausted all options and nothing is working. I've spent almost 2 hours on google searching but I can't get any directions that help my issue.
Is there something else I can try or are my projects just gone forever?
Thank You in advance for any assistance.
EDIT: I'm still poking around and happened to find some files here: L:\Resolve DB\Resolve Project Library\Resolve Projects\Users\guest ... Then there are 3 folders, Configs, Projects, and ProjectMetaDataCache. It's odd that these are here, but it doesn't surprise me because this program is much smarter than me.
