Laptop broke down, backup via external hard drive?

[lo2larsen]

Hello.

I was wondering how to proceed getting a backup of my database, when i can't access the HEM2 application but just all the folders located on the hard drive.

My laptop broke down, and i have gotten the hard drive out and plugged it in the new computer as an external drive..

What to do?

Thanks

zip these 3 folders
- postgresql\data
- parent folder - in roaming
- hm roaming folder (except Parent)
then unzip all this is same locations on new PC

Roaming is in:

7: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\Application Data\HoldemManager


See this tutorial for showing system and hidden files:

Then, Please download the same version of postgresql that you have now from Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB. Install using the same folder that you just unzipped.
