I need to reformat my computer and was wondering where all the holdem manager hands are saved. If i save the history folders for the sites I play at and the data/base folder in postresqul I should be good shouldnt I?

Or would I get all the hands by using "export hands" in postgresql?

If you need to re-format:

-1 (best 'backup') is your entire HoldemManager folder
And your archive folder, default C:/HMArchive.
Also EXPORT your custom HUD, NOTES and BONUS/RAKEBACK info in HoldemManager
(with this backup you will reimport all the original handhistories into an empty database after the format)

-2 basic backup: http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/72/Backup%26RestoreDatabase

-3 saving the PostgreSQL/8.4/data folder.
Though theoretically this is a valid backup, it will often happen when you reinstall PostgreSQL it will NOT detect the old database.

So option 1 and 2 (I'd just do both) are recommended.
