I will be running Win7 soon. Which version of Postgresql should I use?

Is it possible to convert the db? I need it.

You can try a backup and then restore in 8.3 or 8.4, but I dont know how well it restore going that many versions. Before you attempt that you want to be sure you backup your archived hands and export any hands/files. Then if the backup/restore fails you can rebuild via reimporting.


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.

Make sure you export your tournament summaries: Tourney > Results > Dataview > All Hands > Right-Click > Export Tourney Results and Summaries.

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 with the backup/restore, you can manually import the exported files to rebuild.



here are the backup/restore basics. http://www.holdemmanager.net/faq/afmviewfaq.aspx?faqid=12
