Database backup using live CD (OS is not starting normally)

[dmitry10]

Hello! Please sorry for my bad English.
Recently my windows stopped loading normally and I could not boot it. I can get to my files using Ubuntu linux live CD. Please tell me which files I should backup to save my database? On your forum I found this:

Backup: C:/HMArchive (which has the original handhistories)

Backup the entire C:Program Files(x86)/RVG Software/HoldemManager folder, because it contains:
RVG Software/HoldemManager/FISHFINDER folder (TableScanner settings / buddy lists, etc.)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/Reports folder custom reports)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/SitNGoWizard folder (SitNGoWizard settings)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/CONFIG folder (settings and auto-rate rules)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/Filters folder (custom filters)


Also in HM1: export your custom HUD, and export your notes, and bonus/rakeback settings.



The internal backup/restore tool can backup ALL of these things.
Is this information is up to date and will this help me? Is there any way to export my notes without launching HM1?
Thank you for your time!
Regards, Dmitry

For HM1:

Backup: C:/HMArchive (which has the original handhistories)

Backup the entire C:Program Files(x86)/RVG Software/HoldemManager folder, because it contains:
RVG Software/HoldemManager/FISHFINDER folder (TableScanner settings / buddy lists, etc.)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/Reports folder custom reports)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/SitNGoWizard folder (SitNGoWizard settings)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/CONFIG folder (settings and auto-rate rules)
RVG Software/HoldemManager/Filters folder (custom filters)


Also backup the C:/Program Files(x86)/PostgreSQL/8.4/data folder
The notes are stored inside the PostgreSQL database.

You'll only be able to export them, if you manage to connect to the old database.
To do that, you'll have to reinstall PostgreSQL with the 8.4.11 installer from PostgreSQL: The world's most advanced open source database (http://www.postgresql.org).
During the installation select the location of your old /data folder.
