Hi,
A few months ago I bought an External Hard Drive (1tb). The C Drive on my laptop was getting full and I could free space by putting all my documents and also my Database on the external. However, as of last night it is completely broke and I need to get it replaced.
I'm not entirely sure whether all is lost, but because I'm a bit of a noob with databases I need some help.
I have HEM installed on my laptop.
I have HMArchive on my laptop (and there is content - 2012 -> 04 to 07 -> each folder has random numbered files -> folders have HH.txt files)
I have PostgreSQL on my laptop EXCEPT for "data" folder (C/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/data). This folder is empty except a notepad file explaining that this folder is located on the external HDD.
If you need more information, please ask.
I am hoping that I can just replace the external HDD and reimport the HMArchive files or something? If not I can pay for the data to be retrieved from the broken HDD, I just don't know if this is necessary as it isn't cheap.
Thanks in advance - again if anything is confusing or need more information, feel free.
