→I have backup gbkp files: Be more explicit with recovery instructions https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=8665
# {{man menu|If that folder contains <code>.gbkp</code> files, you can continue your attempt to recover the Family Tree.}}
# Copy all the <code>.gbkp</code> files to a new directory that you must create in your database <code>grampsdb</code> directory, eg. give the directory a unique name ''<code>a1111</code>''
# From the original Family tree directory copy the <code>name.txt</code> file to the new directoryyou created.# In the new directory open <code>name.txt</code> in a text editor and change the content to a unique name. eg: '''Family Tree 1''' to '''Family Tree 1 recovery attempt'''# Create In the new directory create a file with name '''<code>need_recover</code>''' . {{man menu|Mind the underscore and the lack of an extension}}. The content of that file is unimportant.# Copy the '''<code>need_recover</code>''' file to the new directory.
# Start Gramps, click on the family tree with the name you adjusted in step 3. There should be a red stop sign with that filename. Click on the {{man button|Recover}} button. The red stop sign should disappear and you should be able to load that family tree.
