From what reading I see in the forums there are some items that need to be done before we can run the new install of HEM with our backup file? Please correct me if I am wrong.

1) I understand that if we backed up a SQL 8.3 then we can not use the backup file with the latest install. Is this correct?

2) If so where can I find my archive files for HEM so I can import my hands into HEM on my new computer?

3) What file do I need to bring over so I can have all my custom profiles and where do I put the file on the new install?

4) Should I upgrade to 8.4 in PGSQL?

Thanks
DB

-1 YES a 8.3 backup can only be restored to a 8.3 database.
The current auto installer installed 8.4 which is incompatible with 8.3

-2 Default: C:/HMArchive
Reimporting all the original handhistories in a NEW database is recommended over the backup/restore process. But the reimport will take a lot longer if the database is very large.

-3 Save you config folder (for HoldemManager) and your FishFinder folder (for TableScanner). Also manually export your NOTES, your HUD and your RAKEBACK & BONUSES
You can overwrite your new files with your backup to restore your settings.

4) 8.4? You don't have to. You can also just install 8.3 so you can restore your .backup file. 8.4 brings no improvements over 8.4
