I installed update to 16.2.2 studio. Opened my project manager and nearly all of my DB projects ARE GONE!
Nightmare scenario unfolding now.
Sequence of what happened.
Started a brand new database last night called Davinci Training. Restored several .dra files to that database. Used it and everything worked normally and as expected.
Today, I updated to 16.2.2 and tried to open my 30 minute television program which is due for delivery this week and not only are all of the projects GONE but in their place are the projects from the other newly created database for Davinci Training!
UNDERSTAND, these are completely separate and unrelated entire databases. They weren't touched or even opened when working with the Davinci Resolve Training database.
Checked 2 other completely separate and unrelated in anyway databases and they too have the projects showing from the Davinci Training database.
ALL I HAVE IS THE .DRP FILES as backups that I make from time to time. If there are no DRP file then I have absolutely NOTHING!!!!! EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMPLETELY GONE, SCRUBBED NON-EXISTANT!
I have searched my entire computer for any files ending in *.db and specifically project.db. The fact is they are somehow completely gone from my entire system.
It appears that there are 2 possibilities.
1. By creating a new database and naming it Davinci Resolve Training and restoring .dra file projects to that database, the process somehow recorded over and deleted other existing *.db files.
2. or by upgrading to 16.2.2. this morning, it caused a corruption of my database structure. Either way I am screwed.
YOU MUST EXPORT .DRP FILES AT LEAST DAILY with screwy database structure in Davinci Resolve. It is way too finicky and clumsy not to do that.
