backup the database and restore it.

Please see this FAQ to transfer/backup data - Hold'Em Manager 2 FAQs - Poker Software :: What Files Should I Backup to Protect my Holdem Manager? (http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/2151/What+Files+Should+I+Backup+to+Protect+my+Holdem+Ma nager%3F)

This will ensure that you have your hand histories and HUD saved to import into a new computer, and as a backup to restore in case of an emergency. I recommend you do this at least once a month and keep the last 2 or 3 most recent backups (and your \HM2Archive folder) stored on an external drive and/or cloud storage site like dropbox or google drive.

Looking at the history, it sounds like the Postgres was corrupted. It wouldn't be possible to retrieve it afterwards. Make sure that you make backups of data regularly.

Something you said got through, found a 2 month old back up I'd made previously after your advice last time.
Thank you for your help, invaluable as ever :-)
