You lost only the drive, but not the system running Duplicati (which could make a bigger mess)?
I’m not certain that the \\?\R: syntax can be a non-local drive, but it’s worth asking what is R:?
Is this all command-line? GUI would have additional logs (in two places, so it can be confusing).
You can look at your job log from command line using the GUI or with an external sqlitebrowser.
Best case would be you have a terminal scrollback or you enabled a log file at some good level.
In GUI, you can make a database bug report and post a link. Command line has a create-report.
No more backup because of one missing file
is not how things usually work. Duplicati repair can typically replace missing dindex and dlist files:
(intentionally deleted one dlist file)
Backup started at 5/15/2022 9:19:31 AM
Checking remote backup ...
Listing remote folder ...
Missing file: duplicati-20220513T234141Z.dlist.zip
Found 1 files that are missing from the remote storage, please run repair
Fatal error => Found 1 files that are missing from the remote storage, please run repair
ErrorID: MissingRemoteFiles
Found 1 files that are missing from the remote storage, please run repair
(so I do)
Listing remote folder ...

(backup now works)
Although it would be best to know what went wrong in your case, that depends on what info you give.
Ideally you would set up a test backup and see if you can reproduce it reliably, and file an Issue on it.
Less ideally you have some more data on how this failed (the more the better, but default log is light).
If you prefer to get going again, one sure-fire (I think) way to stop the complaining about missing dlist would be to erase the records of what files to expect. Rename the database (for safety, in case result turns out worse), and do Database GUI Repair or command line repair command, to recreate the DB.
If no local database is found or the database is empty, the database is re-created with data from the storage.
I suppose another bit of missing data is to review your redacted option list to see why my repair works.
Using advanced options changes behaviors, though I can’t think offhand of one that causes this issue.
Database damage if Duplicati lost power too (did it?) seems more likely, so DB bug report might show.
I’ve been asking for volunteers to test (and code, and document, and help on forum…). Little response.
You’re welcome to help beat on it (with good instrumentation so results are useful). I’m beating it some.
Recently I got a kill test script goiing to see what it can hurt. Most are known issues awaiting developer.
Although it’s a different test than the report here, out of over 1500 kills, it ran over 175 missing file fixes courtesy of the repair command, after missing files were perceived, typically due to DB record losses in transaction rollback after killed compact. It did the delete but not its commit, so the DB forgot the delete.
This is where things stand in the most recent run (which is kind of slow because it does a DB recreation from backup files (as I’m suggesting here) as extra test that things are OK). This one’s a missing file fix:

EDIT:
The sequencing of this is unclear. This is the last copy-and-paste, then it says “cannot make another backup”, but I’m guessing the copy-and-paste at top is where it ends. Was there another repair tried?
Look at my manual and automated test results to see how repair can fix most “missing file” problems.
