For what it’s worth, restoring a previously unrestorable backup from 12/16/21 was possible after 882 update. It seems all my work is not lost after all. Maybe there is hope for you, yet, even if not right away.

Interesting stat if what you say is true, but I’m not buying your hypothesis. Given how Roon handles support in this community, those 400 users can (and have) made a whole lot of damning noise about this update. Couple that with the responsiveness of Build 882 that will help at least some conveys to me that Roon was caught quite unaware of this problem and it’s impact.
Discussions surrounding Roon’s approach to database integrity have been bouncing around for at least the last few years - hence the new database checks in 880 and 882 - so I doubt they’re all that surprised, but there do seem to be some additional problems that they didn’t anticipate.
I agree with you, as a beta tester I had absolutely no problems during the beta trial & therefore I suspect everyone at Roon was taken by surprise and I guess a few Beta testers as well.
Getting a partial fix (882) out as as quickly as they did is pretty impressive, having spent many years in the technology sector I know from experience that software fixes frequently take months to be issued.

For what it’s worth, after updating to Build 882, I was able to restore the last backup I had from before Build 800 and IT WORKED!
Perhaps that simply means that I did not have a corrupted database after all, but I am extremely thankful for the prompt release of Build 882.

Not only during the last 48 hours. I still can remember the desaster when they have launched 1.8 beginning of the year. So many obvious issues that must have been seen during beta testing (crashes when you have not set the language to english, crashes when your are scrolling through playlists or through the tidal view). And now the database issues. Thank god I am not affected, Good thing is that they tend to release quick updates to fix the problems, but this is not the right approach. It is obvious that Roon has a problem with their QA/QC system. Honestly I am not sure if this even exists. In the meanwhile I have severe doubts about the professionalism of that company. If they continue like that, they will disappear from the market as they simply ruin their reputation. I cross my fingers that this is just a bad year for Roon…In principle I really like that piece of software.
Yes, that was my experience too. My so called corrupt database worked just fine after 882. And that backup was from last Friday before I tried the beta. So, for may users out there still having database errors, sit tight for the next fix and perhaps your backups are perfectly fine like mine were.
