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.
