    Unhappy I can not back up the database

    I need help, after the backup of my database, I can not find any files saved in the folder.
    Secondary HD is new, has enough space.

    Please try to vacuum/analyze and reindex your database - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...29#maintenance

    If you continue to have problems, try the following:

    Try creating a new DataBase and import a small portion of your \HM2Archive so you can see if the problem exists in the new DB - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...y+played+hands

    If the new database seems to work properly, it sounds like your database might be corrupt. Please continue to use the new database and import the rest of your hands using the steps above. This is why regular backups are a good idea. If your database becomes corrupt you can restore a backup and only have to import the most recent hands (that were played after the backup was created) and edit any tournament results if necessary. I recommend keeping at least the most recent 2 or 3 backups in case the most recent one does not restore properly you can try the previous backup.

    Here is a FAQ explaining how to backup your database and all settings in one easy step - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...onfigs+work%3F

    Your hard drive (even your primary if it's going on the secondary) needs at least 20% free space at all times, and 2x the size of this database to backup. This uses the temp folder.

    Empty c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp

    You will need to show system and hidden files. See this tutorial for showing system and hidden files:

    Move the temp folder location.
