I had my Mendeley database on a 2007 computer that died, but luckily, I had backed up the entire drive (note: I did not specifically create a Mendeley database backup, just an overall HD backup). I did not sync my library, but have all of my PDF articles/documents in a Dropbox folder (they're all still there). However, when I try to load the database into my new laptop, it will not allow me to do so.
I have the "myemail"@www.mendeley.com.sqlite database from the backup and I have all of the files, yet I cannot seem to get this to work. It would literally take 10-12 hours of my time to put the database back together, re-update all of the metadata and place everything into the correct folders. Is there any way to make this actually work??? Please help.
