Error. Davinci Resolve failed to open project

In many years of profession I happened to lose work due to software bugs.
I have never lost a project with Resolve version 12.
Today in one go i lost 2 correct timelines, almost one day of work.
I saved manually all the day every 10 minutes but the computer crashes.
After reboot the project is "failed to open", so I have to go back 2 days of work.
I have a backup from last days, but can I trust a software that prevents
me from saving safe during color session and reopen the project?

There is a way to recover a "project.db" file?

That sucks...So sorry to hear that Mauro. Have you tried to optimize the database before opening the project?

That or attempt to export the project and re-import it. I've had some luck with those before.

Hoping one of those two suggestions helps.

Just saving the project doesn't protect you if there is a crash and that project gets corrupted.

We would recommend that for long term projects, you Export the project occasionally.

You can also do Project Save As operations occasionally to have incremental backups.

You can also use the Auto Save to Backup Project feature, which will automatically make multiple backups at a user defined interval.

We've made the Auto Save even more flexible and useful in Resolve 15.

Assuming you are using a Disk Database, if you look in the Project Manager Database area, you can see the path to the Disk Database. Down inside that path, likely in the guest user, is a Projects folder that has a folder for each project you have. If you find the project folder for the corrupt project, and zip it, and place it on a file sharing site, we'll see if it's recoverable.

Thanks,
here is the zip file:

Hello!
Something similar happened to me.
Today I have found that I can't open ANY project of a database I was working on a month ago. The client asked for some changes and I am unable to open any session (in fact, I can see in the explorer that there are four projects, but Resolve only shows me three). Is there a way that you can help me with this?
I have lost the work of 2 months!
Thank you very much! Any help is much appreciated!

Assuming the database is a Disk database, you can zip and send us the user Projects folder from the database in question. And we can take a look at it.

Since you provided no information about what type of system you are on, or Resolve version you are using, I can't give you more specific info.

Please send a Resolve diagnostics log created from the Resolve Help menu: Create Diagnostics Log on Desktop.

Unfortunately, the Project.db file database is damaged and is not readable.

Hi,

Would you be able to take a look at this project for me? I'm getting the above error when trying to open it.It was created by an external editor and I need to access to try and re export a sequence. Here is a zip -

So, there is an empty .dra folder in your zip. That's not going to do anything. And then there is a .drp in the zip.

The drp was created from Resolve 18.0.1.

I imported it into a Mac with Resolve 18.0.3 with no issue.

And I imported it into Resolve 18.6 on Windows with no issue.

So the .drp seems fine to me. What sort of issue do you have when you try to import that .drp? And what type of system are you trying to import it on, and what Resolve version is on the system?
