It doesn't exist in HM3 yet. This feature request has been documented in detail and provided to the developers for future consideration. *If you want to be notified if/when it is added please send an email via the 'Contact Support' link (https://support.holdemmanager.com/) and include "Notify Me When HMT-3119 Is Resolved" in the subject line and body of the email.

The only way to sync them currently is manually. You would need to keep your \HM3Archive folder on both machines sync'd via dropbox (or similar cloud hosting service), and manually import recent hands to each computer like we suggest for HM2 -*http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/3221/Sync+Hands+Between+2+PC%27s+Using+Dropbox

You can use the Tools - Backup/Restore Database menu option for the initial transfer of the database but after that you will have to manually import hands to keep them in sync.

Please do not create your HM3 Database in a sub-folder of any cloud file hosting service (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc) as it can cause database corruptions because it will constantly be syncing the database to the cloud while you are playing/importing.* You can configure HM3 to archive any auto imported hand history files to a cloud file hosting service folder if you choose to as that will not affect the SQLite database in any way, and you can obviously store any HM3 database backup files you create in a cloud folder instead of the default path HM3 suggests when backing up databases.

p.s. The HM2 Sync system was never a replacement for regular database backups, or backups of the original hands, settings, notes, etc. You should still do regular backups in HM2 and HM3.

HM2: Please see this FAQ (http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/2151/What+Files+Should+I+Backup+to+Protect+my+Holdem+Ma nager%3F) to transfer/backup data. 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.

HM3: You can make a backup of the active database at any time by using the Tools - 'Backup Database...' menu. You can also simply copy/compress the actual [HM3DatabaseName].hmdb file (unlike HM2/PSQL) and compress/save that as well. Just make sure HM3 and the HM3 server are both closed whenever manually doing things like this to the actual *.hmdb files.
