Hi. I have big problem with database. I lost almost all films. Filesize looks good (950kb) but there is no films

With backup have exactly same problem.

Is any chance to rescue data from database?

Thanks

How many movies are supposed to be in that? That size is not big for a catalog with pictures.
It is probably possible to recover something using an hexadecimal editor, but I do not have time right now unfortunately.

It seems there are quite a lot of pictures corrupted and prevent the catalog from loading. When I delete some corrupted movies completly and so are able to load the first 20 films, there are still some cover pictures on the movies that look weired/corrupted.

About the size - the pictures are very small, maybe around 150x100 pixels.

I still wonder how all these corrupt catalog problems occur

I wonder if there is a bug in the program (and if it is the case, what cause that, since I really do not see what it could be), or if it is due to another program or some hardware/software problem.

As the .bak file is corrupted too, there is really little chance that it is due to AMC: when saving the current file is renamed to .bak and a new .amc is created. So the .bak was a valid loaded catalog, and not modified since then.
