Chat.db keeps getting blown away restore mesagagws
so I formatted my MacBook Pro. High Sierra.
I made a backup of the files and folders in ~/library/messages/.
When I go to the new machine ... and paste over the files ... as soon as I open iMessage ... chat.db gets overwritten.
and I don’t get the history.
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
