    Default How to change database from one computer to another one

    I have already installed in my laptop HM2, now which steps do I exactly need to follow in order to move my database to my new computer?

    Thank you very much!

    Easiest: just copy your C:/HM2Archive folder to the new computer, and import all your original handhistory files into a new database on the new computer.


    Alternatively, Home tab---> Database--> backup the database (and all the settings)--> then restore it on the new computer.
    Or... synchronize the two database: http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...bbon%29#hmsync
    (only use Sync for cashgame hands..... not for STT/MTT hands)

    Pfff the thing is that I don´t have the original HH´s...

    I remember last time I did it manually, what I did was copy the big log files, but then it was just copying from E: drive to C: drive (I just format the SSD), but this time how am I supposed to move 100GB to a different computer?

    I wouldn´t like to use the Sync payment method, as I´m only going to use the laptop in the future.

    Any suggestion is welcome!

    If you backup the database, it will compress the database. So a 100 GB database will end up as only a 12 GB backup file.

    If you can't easily move around a 12 GB file (via USB memory stick)--> go to the Home tab--> Export
    Export ALL your hands. Then zip/rar the folder with all the handhistories. And the 10 GB in .txt files will be compressed to a 1 GB zip/rar file.
