HEM has been very buggy for me as of late. So i am wondering i could get an explanation of how to do a back up of all of my hands? Where/what do i save it to? That way i wont lose my 300k hand database.

thanks

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

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

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

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

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


If your DB is working normally, there are also 2 methods for reinstalling SQL and using your previous SQL database, that are faster than the manual import. The text file backups of your processed and exported hands are far more important, and reliable than these methods.
