Multiple Campaigns Corrupted
Hello,
A few weeks ago, I experienced a "Script Execution Error [string "CoreRPG:scripts/manager_dualua"]" error that resulted in the right side of my character screen going blank for my Curse of Strahd campaign. Fortuntaely, this was rectified by using an older db.xml.
Today, I have experienced the same issue for my Tyranny of Dragons campaign. This time, doing this does not help. Additionally, my Curse of Strahd is missing all PC character sheets. It does not show any of the maps I added, and I cannot add them again because it still senses the maps as having been added.
At a bit of a loss as it seems using FGU means I'm at threat at losing campaign progress at a moment's notice, and I run multiple campaigns each week.

Are you using any active sync/backup applications on your FG data (DropBox, Google Drive, Box, etc.)?

I know you've stated before that no cloud or sync programs are running in previous posts. But Microsoft might be to blame. They are trying to get OneDrive in all Windows machines, and OneDrive is installed as an integral part of Office. So it "could" be running in the background and you never know it. And one of the things it tries to automatically backup is the User Settings, Documents, Pictures, etc.
Where is your FG data directory at on your machine?

Edit: Further anecdotes
This one sounds almost exactly like what you are describing.

@JohnBoySlim - sorry, I didn't realize we'd previously discussed data issues.
Your continued issues indicate there is a problem with Fantasy Grounds saving your FG data locally on your computer's hard drive. This could be caused by data sync applications preventing correct saving, FG being closed incorrectly, access rights locally.
Some things to check in future - after you cleanly exit Fantasy Grounds at the end of your session, go to the <FG app data>\campaigns\<your campaign name> directory on your computer and ensure that the db.xml file has been saved correctly - it should have a similar size to the previous db.session file.
For example, the screenshot below shows a campaign that I used yesterday - when I exited FG, the files highlighted were saves (October 22nd, 6:07pm). #1 is the db.xml file (the FG campaign database with all of the data - PCs, story, image metadata, etc.), this is 9,071KB. The previous file #2, db.session.20241022.xml, is of a similar size - so this can be seen as correctly saving the campaign data. If you've done a lot of additional work, then db.xml will be larger than the previous db.session file.
This might seem like a pain to do, but I think it's a good check to do immediately after exiting Fantasy Grounds cleanly, as it may help give an idea where the issue is occurring.

Also, hasn't there been some issues with just clicking the X in the upper right to close FGU instead of right clicking and selecting exiting? That wouldn't be related to the OTHER campaigns getting corrupted though.

This was for FG Classic, and only for the Windows emulator package that ran on MAC/Linux - so using the X to close out the emulator package essentially force closed the whole environment FG was running in and so FG Classic didn't close down and didn't save data. This is not an issue with FG Unity as there are dedicated applications for each OS and closing the application should close out correctly, not force close.

I've been moving the last few weeks and haven't been able to sit down and set this up. I am pretty technologically inept, overall.
