It was previously working. Used intermittently to transfer mined ZEC to exchange. This time when I started it crashed with a few error messages. I tried updating to latest version which did not help. Also tried deleting .zcash directory and start afresh which again did not help. What is the problem? How to get around it?
the end of the debug.log file would help a lot, thanks

looks like your blockchain database got corrupted somehow…first thing I’d double check is that the drive/partition that its on is not either full or close to it, and then you need to re-download the blockchain…don’t touch wallet.dat, peers.dat or zcash.conf, but blow away everything else in ~/.zcash/
SSD not full. Now seems ok. Cleaned out .zcash except for wallet and conf. Went back to 1.0.6 and blockchain now fully up to date. Still not clear as to what the problem was. Not risking it again. Immediately moved all coins to exchange and switched mining direct to exchange. Would have lost 30 ZEC if I could not access my account!
I had the same issue but instead of a fix I got this issue after…

As you can probably tell, it leaves a “bak” file in place of the “wallet.dat” after running.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this in Windows? Not that familiar with Linux, and am willing to try, but just have no clue what I’m doing there. Really hoping for a fix for this one, had 2-3 wallets on here. 
Just tried to fix it and restart the app. zcash4win just kind of ignores the whole “.bak” file and recreates a whole new wallet… which freaked me out because I thought that’s all it could pull… however, still have the original 376 KB wallet.dat, I believe… does anyone know how I can fix this? I tried reinstalling zcash4win and deleting the params/proving keys as well.
This is what I’m getting from the DB.log file because I’m assuming it kind of has to do with the database?

You need to import your private keys export file (created from the export private Keys option)
Importing the backup will only partially restore the funds and may not be spendable I’m not sure
If you place your wallet.dat file into the roaming file and resync, it may restore all the funds, gonna take a while
Make sure to rename the backup file to wallet.dat if you’re doing that
