Hi all,

I searched the forum but couldn't find anything about it.
I just upgraded form 2020.* to the latest stable version 2023.2, had some problems but it's working now.

After the nightly backup to my NAS I copied the database to my pc and wanted to view the domoticz database with DB Browser for SQLite, it always worked but now when I try to open the database it is asking for a key, which i don't have, i tried to open the database from older backups before the upgrade and that works fine, so something has changed after the upgrade.

Can i find the key (password) somewhere ?
Is there a standard key (password) to access the database ?

I don't think the database is encrypted so probably something went wrong in the copy action.

What if you open Domoticz web interface from your windows computer and make a manual backup with menu setup -setting tab backup/restore? The backup is downloaded directly to your windows computer.

you are right, when i manually made a backup it can read it, so something must have gone wrong with the backup

thanks so much !
