tried a search but to no avail.

I would like to show my $230 dollars winings in my current graph that got lost when i had to format my computer? is it possible to manually add the session and put in dates of 3 months so its not a straight up line. Is it possible to show both my poker clients in the 1 graph also?

Could you give me step by step instructions to backup my current database so this doesnt happen again.

many thanks

I don't believe there is any way to do that. Most poker sites will email you every hand you ever played there, if you email their support department.


These are the things I would tell you to backup, if you were reinstalling HM and SQL or getting a new PC:


I want to re-install Holdem Manger without losing all of my settings and preferences. Can this be done? (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=98)


How do I re-install PostgreSQL and use a previous database? (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=177)


How do I backup and restore my database? (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=12)


How do I export or import hands into and from Holdem Manager? (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=173)



You want to make sure you backup your Processed/Archived hand histories, your entire \config folder, and your exportednotes file. (http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/?f=119) I usually just copy my entire \Holdem Manager directory. It is also a good idea to export any non-default HUD configs you have created to XML file.

I would also make sure you manually export the database to hand history text files:

HM > Options > Database Management > Connect > Export Hands

Make sure you copy that folder as well as the other stuff I mentioned.

This helps to insure that if anything goes wrong with the backup/restore, you can manually import the exported files to rebuild.

You need the handhistories in txt-format not in Excel. Best would be the original handhistories

been on the phone to ladbrokes support for 1hr, they dont seem to know what to do. Ive told them i need the files sent in text format, they are saying i can convert the excel files to text, is this correct and how do you do it?

cheers

I don't know what this excel files look like. Of course you can convert excel files to text but i don't think this will help you.
I think your data are lost if you didn't make a backup.
