Question
Please tell me how to restore from the backup created by the project backup of the automatic backup function.
Answer
Please refer to the following article for the automatic backup method.
To restore, first open the project manager and confirm that there is a project to be restored. The recovery method differs depending on the situation. The Project Manager is a dialog that appears when DaVinci Resolve is started, allowing you to select a project to use. If you have already started DaVinci Resolve, you can also open it by clicking the house icon at the bottom right of the screen.

If this method doesn't work for you, there is still a way around it.
The file created by Project Backup is actually a copy of the project's database information. Try to recover by manually copying this copy to a location where it can be read as a DaVinci Resolve database.
Checking the save destination of the backup created by saving the project

Determine which file is the relevant one based on the modification date and time.
Checking the database storage location to restore to
Click the icon to the left of "Project" in the upper left of the Project Manager
From the opened explorer or finder, go down to Resolve Projects\Users\guest\Projects.
Create a folder with an appropriate name to use as the project name and open the folder
Copy the backup file confirmed in "Checking the save destination" to the created folder
Rename the file to "Project.db"
If DaVinci Resolve is running, exit it once and start it
You should be able to restore the project to the top level of Project Manager.
