I just wonder if you use options/db management and export hands will it copy all hands both holdem and omaha hands?
It will be all hand historys in a folder I guess.

Is there another option to copy the database via postres admin?
I know PT2 had a simply and easy way to copy the database.

Didn't find any threads about this issue, and the manual only had the first solution.

Correct. It exports to a folder in your \holdem manager directory as text files. It is important to do this occasionally, and even more important to make sure you backup your \HMArchive that you assigned under the Options > Configure Auto Import Folders > Edit > Archive Folder.

If you search our faq's for the word 'database' you will find most everything you want to know.

This is what I tell everyone that needs to reinstall HM or is getting a new/2nd pc, to backup.


Before you uninstall HM:

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.

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.
