I have a new install of DRS after windows stopped working correctly. I started over with a new installation of windows on a new hard drive. The projects I was working on are now missing. It seems they were being stored on the C:\ drive. So, I have the old harddrive connected so I can copy whatever files are necessary to recover my projects. The problem is, I cannot figure out which folders I need to copy from the old C:\ drive to the new C:\? Had I know projects aren't just stored like Adobe, I would have exported them first. So, how do I find and copy the data so I can start working again?

Thanks

You need to read the user manual to learn about Resolve databases and how to reconnect them. There are no individual project files, as everything works inside the database, which is where you select projects when you run Resolve.

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Resolve Disk Database worth a try.
if you left it at default both times you can right mouse on project manager open folder on windows. your looking for a Resolve Disk Database folder.

This really is not very helpful. But thanks anyway.

Hey, thanks. This was able to get me about 90% of the way there. I recovered the projects, but they are not exactly how I left them. But it's good enough so I don't have to start over from scratch. Thank you very much.
