Trying to restore a Roon backup on my reinstalled iMac - please help

Oh ok, yeah that is not right. I don’t understand the change either but it seems other people are having similar issues like here All Audio Devices Disappeared
but now if you can’t get Roon to even open then you have to work on that first. You mentioned you had a backup. Is that a backup of the Roon database from Roon, or is it a backup by time machine or something?
