    Default Export Hands filled Hard Drive, want to move to External, PLEASE HELP!!

    I tried to export a small number of hands (well, small to me) about 30,000 hands or so and it filled up my hard drive! It filled up about 40gb of space if I recall the space I still had correctly! And the thing is, it didn't even work! I guess because it ran out of space to save the hands, it stopped exporting!

    I don't understand how exporting 30k hands to a folder can take up more than 40gb of hard drive space! How is that possible! Now my hard drive is full and the hands didn't save to the folder that they were supposed to be in, BUT THE SPACE IS STILL BEING USED UP!!! I really need to free up this space asap! Is it possible to decrease the size of my database by sending some hands to an external hard drive, but still have it so that HM2 can access them in real time via a usb port or something? My laptop is really powerful, but has very limited hard drive space, so this would be infinitely helpful!

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    How much free space do you have on your system/C drive and how big is the database according to the HM2 > Database > Database Info menu? You generally need more than twice as much free space as your database is big according to that menu for any database task like export, maintenance, backup/restore, etc.


    Please see this FAQ to clear up some more free space - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...+of+Disk+Space


    If you continue to have problems you can try moving the windows temp directories that we use for these database procedures to another drive that has more free space - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/gene...t-working.html


    If you continue to have problems:


    Please enable the Settings > Feature Logging > [x] 'DBControlPanel' option and increase the Max number of log files option to 10 so old logs are saved with date/time stamps.


    You can also enable this before you launch HM2 from the Start Menu - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...ging#startmenu


    Please reproduce the problem and attach your log.txt file with a detailed description of what you were doing and what problems you were experiencing - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...ger+Support%3F


    Please zip and email the requested file to hm2support@holdemmanager.com with a link to this thread and your forum name.
