Didn't realize that you wanted me to start a new thread sorry about that. Heres my problem/question. I had HEMon this pc and backed up the db and put it on another. I had this pc wiped clean and installed a new operating system. I have all of my hands,history,results all back on here I had no problem doing any of that. The thing in question is the actual HEM archive folder. I lost that in the process but as previously stated I have everything in HEM and am not missing any info. Is this a problem and if so what do I do?

I personally use the Archive as a 2nd level backup when the database backup is not working.

I suggest you export all hands from your database to build up a new archive.

Yes, I have multiple variations of my database exported to text and zipped. 7zip will compress text files to about 8% of their original size. I also have multiple old \HMArchive folders, along with my current version, because I am too lazy to ever get them all organized. I have a ton of redundancy, and it is much better than not having any old hands when your DB or PC dies.
