How to BACKUP, MOVE and RESTORE DaVinci Resolve DATABASES
Probably one of the most overlooked and most needed things to know when using any version of DaVinci Resolve.

This tutorial will give you a comprehensive system to make sure you never lose a Resolve database. Can move and restore your database with ease and never worry about losing a project. Or having a resolve database fail, disappear or be inaccessible.

I discuss some additional programs to use and hardware that you will need.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU, I LITERALLY LOST EVERYTHING AND THIS SAVED MY LIFE, I COULD CRY

[ak_mits]

I am a simple person. I watch a video, I like it.

[williamtaylor]

Dude, thank you so much. Saved my day. Gotta love YouTube... sometimes.

[dukeofmilpitas]

You're great at explaining things. I needed to rename the directory which contained my clips, and I knew DaVinci would freak. You had me on track in 51 seconds. Thumbs up. Thanks.

[CharlieKnolesPlus]

You legend. I just spent all morning trying to fix this and then watched 33 seconds of your video and it solved my problem.

[marco]

Thank you very much for explaning this on a short and direct video!

[StretchYourself]

Dude, you're a savior! I lost 81 fully edited clips and was freaking out. You had me gtg in less than 5 minutes. Thanks so much!

[mfundomzolo]

You're a legend, thank you for the help. Quick and easy

[marie-evemartel]

Wow ! I LOVE you so much ! I sound a bit intense, but Oh man you just saved me SO much trouble. It's such a vital basic learning skill that should be taught in the DRS tutorials and it isn't, although they do warn us that if we move our files around in our PC it will be lost in Davinci as you are working on it. The Universe just sent you back love and good vibes for this video you posted two years ago you beautiful being you ! I'm sure many don't comment, but were saved by you. ;)

[worldwithoutmj.]

Omg I had my final assignment due and da vinci was acting up, thankyou for saving my degree.

[BLAKHARTFILM]

Thank you for this. Really disappointed with myself for not finding it earlier. Deleted some projects because they wouldn't load, at all or showed media offline. Have to start from scratch but at least I now know what to do.
Cheers

[BlahhChanel]

Straight to the point. It helped, thank you!

[NealWalter]

thanks man! I got it fixed in 10 seconds

[AlextheLue]

Thank you! The "Locate" option worked perfectly.

[liannevalle]

Saved me a lot of time and stress - thank you!

[ChuchoTheCatLord]

thanks for the explanation very simple to understand, now my issue seems to be different, I'll try the smart bins because for some reason when I try selecting the folder where the media is it just says it's not there which is super weird because if I select the media and open in storage it shows me that same location.... I'll try smart bins and hope it works, thanks again!

[detstudy]

Thanks "mate" (had to say it). Good stuff. Super helpful

[saowo]

GOODNESS GREACIOUS thanks mate i nearly pp maself

[heidialina]

This is great, but what if you rename a file? Davinci can't seem to find my file, even though I've given it the new name and shown it where it's located. What to do?

[BadSloucher]

Thank you so much, this was so helpful!
