Which PostgreSQL version are you using?

Try using pgadminIII instead: http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questio...estoreDatabase

[-iDonk-]

8.4 version 1.10.5

and the latest HEM 1.11.07 internal-3

Did you install PostgreSQL to a non default folder (or to a different partition/drive)?

Try updating it to 8.4.8 with the installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database
Or turn off User Account Control: How to Disable and Turn Off UAC in Windows 7 « My Digital Life (and reboot)


If that doesn't resolve it, just use pgadminIII instead.

Yea i have my DB/postgresql on an external HDD. is that most likely the issue? had it set up like that for the longest time though and it always worked.

Backup/Restore tool won't work if you're not using SQL 8.4.1, or it's not installed to the non default install-folder.
