In the C drive I have a folder called HMArchive where are stored all the hands that I play format. "Txt"

I can not find the database, anyone know which folder is?
because every time I have to keep your hands to another PC I have to copy the folder HMarchive, but it would be better to copy a database file, but do not know where he is!

format that stores the databases holdem manager? and in which folder you save?

The database is not stored in a single file, but in the C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.x/DATA folder.

However you CAN't just copy that folder to a new computer.
You can backup the database in a .backup file with pgadminIII which you can then restore. (restoring a .backup file and creating the backup will be 10x faster than actually reimporting all the original handhistories if you have a large database)

read: FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Backup & Restore Database (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/72/Backup+%26+Restore+Database)

Do always save the HMArchive folder with all the original handhistories, since sometimes restoring a .backup file FAILS so you must always have the option to reimport the original handhistories.
