1 In the list of databases, make sure the resolve101 database is selected.
2 At the top of the window, click the backup button.
Generally, databases range in size from a couple of hundred megabytes to a couple
ofgigabytes; but unlike media, they can easily be saved to a cloud backup storage
system or a small local hard drive.
3 Navigate to the hard drive or cloud-based storage where you want to back up your
database, and click Save.
4 Once the save is completed, click the confirmation dialog, and click the databases
button to close the database window.
After saving a backup, a .diskdb file is created. This file contains your entire database
which you can simply copy to another drive if, for instance, you purchase a new
computer and want to move your existing projects to the new hard drive. On the
newcomputer, you can click the Restore button in DaVinci Resolve to open and use
the database.
