Hi,
recently I’ve changed to Sierra and I realized, that my Devonthink database is gone. Before that change I “backuped” everything with Time Machine but I can’t find anyting there.
I looked within the app and in Application Support but Devonthink isn’t even listed there. The search function doesn’t bring anything up either…
Does anyone have an idea? I’m desperate 
Thanks and best wishes from Hamburg

You don’t say what edition you’re using.
If Pro or Pro Office, do a Spotlight search for dtBase2.
Also, make sure you’re looking in the right place. In the Finder, press Shift-Command-G and paste: ~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink Pro 2 or DEVONthink 2 for Personal.
Hi, yes, sorry. I’m using Pro Office. And I’ve looked for dtbase2, nothing there. I’ve followed your string and there is an “inbox.dtBase2” but there are only a couple of files in there…
I don’t understand why I can’t find anything in my time machine update! 
Thanks for you help!
Do you remember where you created the databases? By default DEVONthink suggests the Documents folder but they can be created anywhere.
I keep thinking…
I keep looking…it MUST be somewhere…
Did you have any external drives connected to the machine?
You could also use EasyFind to scan all volumes: Enable the options “Unix-Wildcards”, “Ignore Case”, “Package Contents” and “Invisible Files & Folders”, then select “All Volumes” in the popup menu and finally enter the search term *.dtBase2
