I've been editing a lot of videos in the past 4 days. The power went out today in the middle of a rendering. When it came back on and I turned my computer back on every single project I've been working on is completely gone. Not in the projects folder either (AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Resolve Disk Database\Resolve Projects\Users\guest\Projects)
How is this even possible?
I can't emphasize enough how HUGE of a MAJOR bug this is. When the power went out I was thinking "Crap, it probably hasn't saved any of the work I've done in the last 15 minutes". But the fact that everything is completely deleted somehow from the past 4 days... makes me so so so so angry.
Why would you ever design a software where that was even a remote possibility? This has never happened with adobe software in the 20+ years I've worked with it because it works with save files and not some kind of bizarre "project database" which may or may not keep any of the work you've done over the last couple days.
Any thoughts? Or am I just out of luck?
I'm on Resolve 17.
