Restore rekordbox library database from hard drive

Hi,

My laptop hard drive recently crashed, although I managed to recover the data on to an external hard drive. Is there any way I can return my Rekordox library to how it previously was with all cue points, waveforms, key, related track info etc through copying across program files and/or appdata?

In the past I have been able to restore my library but that was through exporting a backup of the library or exporting an xml file.

I am running windows 10, and I run all my music through itunes which is bridged into rekordbox. I've read through every relevant forum topic I can fins but still can't quite work it out.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Yes, Me too! I accidentally deleted a playlist in Rekordbox (6.6.1).

I spent a week creating and curating it. Then I created a new folder and dragged my new playlist into it. After that, I deleted the 'spare copy' of the playlist in Rekordbox. I opened the Playlist in the new folder and it was empty, no tunes. Why is there not a 'Deletion History' where you can select and 'Restore to Playlists'?

I've spent an evening online, on the Pioneer website (useless), Rekordbox forums, the wider web and have attempted the varied and disparate 'solutions'. Now I'm getting worried. I would like to get my work back.

@Mr Jolly, If you have closed Rekordbox less than 3 times since you encountered the issue you can recover an auto back up from this location.

You can revert to a previous version of your database through an automatically created backup in the rekordbox folder:

Win 7/8/10: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Pioneer\rekordbox
OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox

Rename datafile.edb to datafile.edb.old
Rename datafile.backup.edb to datafile.edb (removing .backup)
