<div>mhh ok, I have progressed a bit by looking at the tables in the database.... I think I have lost my database now. I have the feeling the migration thing created and empty database. Does it make sense? is it what the migration tool is supposed to do? if yes, then I overwrote my database with this empty one... <br>
</div><div>It's the second or third time I loose all my tags and everything in the database with digikam... :-(( very annoying.</div><div>I find it very confusing. How do you do when you are not an expert in database? How to make a backup of the database??? I think I used in the past such a backup tool (because I have old backups on my disk), but I can't find it anymore...</div>

<div>Hello<br></div><div><br></div><div>I intend to reinstall my system and format my disk. When I will copy my files (and my photos) back on my new system, I want to be sure I will have my digikam stuff just like before (basically, tags and "stars" on photos) Do I just need a copy of the database? (the file digikam4.db?)</div>
<div><br></div><div>and actually, I am having trouble now, because I use the "database migration" tool, in order to make such a copy on another disk (I understood this tool as a copying tool, but I realise now that I must be wrong)? Now when I start digikam, it lost the location of my albums, and try to connect to the database, with no success....</div>
<div>and now it asks me again where my photos are re rebuild everything! How can I tell it to use the database that I have saved?</div><div><br></div><div>thanks if you can help</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
