Is that exactly what the error message said? It just started with a slash with nothing before it? If so, that means the storage location is currently invalid for some reason. In that case, go to Settings->Storage->Set MobileSheets Storage Location, tap the SD card icon and then tap OK. It should set the storage location to the default (/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.zubersoft.mobilesheetspro/files) and if that is not what the current location is, it should repair things. The most important thing is to verify whether your files are actually missing from the storage location or not. So first, please let me know whether you were using the default storage location or a different one, and if you use a file browser to navigate to that location, are the PDFs still there? If so, that means we just need to repair the storage location in MobileSheetsPro and everything should work again. If the files are missing, we need to figure out why they were deleted off the device.
The automatic database backup/restore just restores mobilesheets.db which contains all of your songs, setlists, bookmarks, annotations, etc. It does not contain the actual PDFs themselves. You have to create a full library backup manually to save those. Backup files can be several gigabytes in size, so that is not something MobileSheetsPro will do automatically. I am going to add prompts for users to back up their libraries regularly though as I think that is important as most people do not create regular backups.
I really hope you didn't just get rid of all of the automatic database backups though - it's really important that you still have your most recent database loaded so that we can just repair the file paths, otherwise your library will have been permanently reset to an older point in time.
