Hello all!

I have the following problem:
I have installed the latest Windows update on my PC. Unfortunately, something went wrong during the update process, so I had to reinstall my PC. My backup was unfortunately corrupted as well. I was able to restore individual files from the backup - including the data directory of PostgreSQL.
Is there a way to get the data directory running in the current installation? When I stop the PostgreSQL service, replace the data directory and try to start the service again, the startup process crashes every time.

Alternatively I still have older SQL exports from PgAdmin3. I can load these into the database via psql. The DaVinci Project Manager then also shows me my projects, but I have to do a database upgrade. If I do this, I see my projects in the Project Manager, but I cannot open a project. In Resolve itself, I do not see the projects.

Maybe someone has a tip for me?
Thanks!

My settings:
- DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.0.b6 (dongle)
- Windows 10 Home 20H2 (64-Bit)

Did you never backup your projects ( .drp ) externally? You could easily import them into a fresh database.

Zip the PostgreSQL data directory, put it on a file sharing site, and send me a link. I'll try to fix it for you.

I backed it up with the PgAdmin3, but I can't import it with the PgAdmin3-Tool. When I insert it manually (it is SQL-Syntax) with psql, it doesn't work.
