problems with database backup

[goater14]

Hi guys, trying to backup my database as want to transfer to new computer.

Problem I am getting is it gets half way through the backup and seems to just stop? I have left it for a couple of hours and when I check the backup is still only half way?

Running the up to date version of holdem2, is their any other way of backing up the hand histories to export(something not to dificult).
Thanks

Please make sure your hard drive has enough space.

You need to have at least 10% at all times. Additionally, you'll need another 2x the database size available for swapping files.

Empty c:\temp and c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp. You will need to show system and hidden files. See this tutorial for showing system and hidden files:

Try moving them to a different drive - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...7-a76c0b450818

Also, try putting the backup file on a different drive that has more space.

Thanks that seems to off done the trick.

So now I have backed up is it as simple as loading the file on to a memory stick and loading it onto the new computer, downloading hm2 on new pc and restore database?

Yes. We also recommend backing up the raw data:

Please see this FAQ to transfer/backup data:

This will ensure that you have your hand histories and HUD saved to import into a new computer, and as a backup to restore in case of an emergency.
