| | Posted: | | | | Unfotunatly the xml file will do you no good as it is not a backup file. If you don't have a proper backup file stored in another location or directory, your only alternative is to download your online collection to restore your database. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

If you have, simply reinstall v2 (download from: legacy.intervocative.com) download your collection, make a backup and restore that into v3. If you deleted v3: the data is not stored in the program folder but in \Documents and Settings\$Username\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\ Just look if its still there. If yes, simply reinstall v3. Quote:
But i had keep the file "collection.xml) (22Mo) See "Data Recovery" mentioned in my signature. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | As Max has said, the XML file is not a backup. I checked and your online is also empty, so that makes downloading impossible.
Sorry for your trouble, but take it as a lesson learned. BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP.
Just read what Mithi posted whle I was messing around trying a couple of things and the link to data recovery might be your best bet. You can open the xml in notepad and find your purchase place and price in there, so some of the personalization data is there, just no automatic way to get it back. | | | | Kevin | | | | Last edited: by antolod |

Click on the link in Mithi's signature on Help for data recovery, and follow the instruction under the heading Restore from XML-ExportAfter you have done this, you will have to re-create any box set relationships. If you have a lot of time on your hands, you can still get some of the personalized information from collection.xml by opening it in a text editor (notepad) and find purchase info, tag info, view history, collection number, etc by locating the appropriate fields, but that process would be extremely tedious with 2300 DVDs to go through. | | | | Kevin |
