Lost my campaign data need a bit of help or advice.

[Larsenex]

Greetings Smiteworks.

I had a disc failure and was migrating and attempting to save my campaign before the campaign data was lost.

I think I have the data for the campaign specifically the players characters. I tried to load this but it is not coming up. I am left with having the players try to rebuilld.

I have 'saves' and I think I have all their data but for some reason its not coming up.

I have access to the original folder and52030

I am in need of these four characters (see screenshot) which is IN the campaign folder.

If you can access the campaign folder (that is the folder with the campaign name on it); copy that into the campaigns folder in your new location.

You might also be able to use a previous version of the campaign that FG automatically makes. See; https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/1207304196/Restore+Campaign+to+an+Earlier+Save

I have found it immeasurably useful to zip my Fantasy Grounds data folder to Onedrive after every game session. It has made it easy to move machines and saved me from an SSD failure. This can be done by hand easy enough, but if you're at all techie a simple cmd script will do.

---fguback.cmd---
@SETLOCAL
@ECHO OFF
REM Depends on 7z (www.7-zip.org)

set SRC="%APPDATA%\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds"
set DST="%OneDrive%\Games\FGU"

pushd %SRC%
7z a -r -mx9 %DST%\fgubackup.zip *

Thank you all for the info. Lord Entrails, I have the previous DB but when I try to use them as instructed it does not bring back the missing Character info. Note the char folders are empty which may account for this. I cant figure out why they were missing yet the DB sessions were ok. My players are rebuilding everything from scratch to 5th level. I have some various screenshots to help and its noted we've been playing since March of 2021 in Abomination vaults!

Have a look at this article (https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/1207304196/Restore+Campaign+to+an+Earlier+Save), it may allow you to recover the characters.
