Created a new database on new hard drive but disconnected others
I apologize in advance for this rough articulation of what is happening.
I moved over to Davinci from resolve about 6 months ago and still having some challenges understanding the best way to manage my projects with the databases. I have a total of 2 databases setup + the local database. I have had not had any issues until I recently created a new database on a new gdrive (which I intended to use for travel while working on specific projects). After I set up this new database (pktdrive1) my other two databases immediately became disconnected. List of my databases:
1. feltxstudiosdb (I use this for my studio work. I have been able to back this up and restore it, no current issues. I was smart enough to actual create a backup)
2. pktdrive1 (this is the new database where after creating it disconnected the other databases. I don’t know that this is what it caused or if the other databases coincidently disconnected for some other reason. I did not create a backup in the moment and just ejected the drive and now I cannot restore this database. I have one project on here that I could live without)
3. resolvedatabase (I cannot restore this database and I apparently did not keep a backup of this either bc when I search the folder that I originally created the database in I cannot find the appropriate file ie. when in the project manager there are no files accepted for the restore function. There are several projects that I need on this database).
4. Local database (I’ve never backed it up and I have to projects that aren’t really needed on this DB)
My question is am I missing a step or is there a way for my to import my project into a new project file. I unfortunately did not think to export a project file for any of these projects. However, when I go to (C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Resolve Disk Database) I can see the project folders but I am not able to import them.
I am using version 16.2.7.010 on Windows 10 Pro machine.
Very sorry for the wordy and unarticulated description. Thanks in advance for any direction. Appreciate you all!

Apart from the obvious of always doing a database and project backup before anything major, have you tried to reconnect the missing databases? Are they actually gone?
