Inside Database make a new folder called Old, and move all but one of the backups in there. Then when you click Open on Database it should be faster.
OK, I moved the older files to the newly created "Old" folder and reran the Database Restore. The one remaining folder popped up almost immediately and showed 114 rules and 8084 recordings. The NAS is in the process of restoring ... fingers crossed. I'll let you know how that goes ... Thanks again

The Database Restore Crashed. The Channels DVR Server stopped running after 4 hours into the restoring process and I could not restart it. I had to uninstall and reinstall the App before I could get the DVR server running again. Trying to restore the Database again - but I'm doubtful it will work ... any other ideas to try out?
Try an older backup from a couple weeks ago
It immediately started on a backup from 10/5. It's running on version 2023.09.05.0559 ... do you recommend a newer version?
Yes go ahead and update to pre-release and see if its stable with that configuration.
There seems to be some type of corruption that happened to the database since then which is what's causing the issue.
Just switched to 2023.10.19.1801 ...
The only thing I can think of that may have caused a problem last week was that DTE, the power company, changed the power pole in the back of my house. They had me shut everything down couple times and I have a UPS backing the servers up. But I noticed that they gave the line a couple short 2 or 3 second bumps after they turned everything back on. It didn't seem to effect anything at the time but that may have been it. ...
Yes that is likely what caused it. So you could restore a backup from before that occurred.
That's a thought, but I only lost about 100 recordings out of 8000. Besides I have them backed up separately and I can import them. I think the main lesson I learned is to backup up the database backups along with the movies and shows that I have been backing up. Anything else you'd recommend?
