okay, so i followed the advice in the FAQ with backing up my HEM database, which was massive. one thing i should have done was purge hands, but oh well.
i backed up in two ways.
1. backed up via pgAdminIII. the restoration process has been crap as my computer has restarted a few times during it / slept, etc. i have about ~5gb compressed back up, which means i have about 15gbs in uncompressed text hhs. it'll take a while.
2. exported hh's. i did this via the database mgmt tool. the fun part is that when i tried to reimport these hands is that i get nearly all errors. when i look at the hh's, it looks smashed together (very little spacing / formatting) when pulled into Notepad, yet when i copy/paste here, all formatting is present.
i'm really just trying to restore this damn thing. any advice on rectifying the 2nd option? btw, hands which i rightclick/export just in the Hands tab have reimported just fine.
