Unable to restore database. Database is corrupt

Got a popup with Library Restore, Unable to restore database. Database is corrupt and Unable to complete restore process. Can someone help me?

Is it safe to say you don’t have any other backups other than the facility that Engine provides?

You might be able to recover the various DB files using the command line tools. Here’s documentation: Recovering Data From A Corrupt SQLite Database

I take a full backup every time I change anything. Heard too many horror stories of people losing their DB to corruption.

Think I have 40 odd of them on my external drive now :slight_smile:

Me 2. I run a powershell script that backups the default engine DJ database. But all my music resides on a USB-SSD. EngineDJ builds a database on this disk to, which the normal backup procedure within EngineDJ ignore. So I backup this as well to a backup disk. Then when the script detects my Prime4 connected to the PC, it backups this DB as well.

I have everything on the external drive, so if the database on the PC corrupts it’s no biggie at all.

My database decided to grenade itself overnight! I’m currently restoring a week old backup from Lexicon and without it, I would have lost everything.

Libdjinterop is great. I’ve been using it for development of my homegrown tools.
