Where DaVinci Resolve locates its projects?
Good evening. Fell off the system. Now I have the system disk with the information. There are unfinished projects in DaVinci Resolve. The question is, where Da Vinci keeps them? Can I somehow get them?

It depends on which version of Resolve you are using, and if V9, which database format you are using.

I don’t have Raid, and I work with an ordinary hard drive, and during installation I have not changed anything, leaving the database creation by default.

What version of Resolve are you using? If version 9, was there EVER ANY version 8 Resolve on your system?

Now I’m using v9, but v8 was installed before.

Then unless you explicitly created a new database when you installed V9, you are almost certainly using a PostgreSQL database. All the Resolve project and user info are stored in hidden, non-accessible, non-user manipulate-able files. The proper way to move the PostgreSQL database, is to use the Resolve Database Manager, accessed at the Resolve user login screen, and BACKUP the database. You can then take the single (probably large) file that creates, and RESTORE it into another Resolve, or newly installed Resolve instance on a new hard drive, or whatever.
I don’t really understand from your original post what sort of condition your system is in, as I’m not sure what “fell off the system” means. Do you have the ability to run Resolve and do a database backup? Or do you have a database backup you’ve previously done? Are you trying to move the Resolve database info onto a new hard drive or system?
