I have PT installed on my desktop and laptop. If I create a database back-up file from my laptop, why can't I install that on my desktop so both versions are looking at the same data? I tried doing the back up and using the "restore" feature to bring in the new data, but it doesn't work. I guess that begs the question, how do you use a back-up file to restore a corrupted db?

That should be working fine - take a look at the Tutorial: Backup and Restore - where are you having trouble?

That worked like a charm. I was trying to do it from the Database menu and kept saying "file not found". When I used the File/Resort menu all was good.

Thanks,

Glad to hear it

I had my data base backed up using PGAdminIII. The backupfile waover 500 mb. I tried to then import is using PT3 restore but a file was not found. I tried to restore it throuhg PGadminIII using the resotre function but i have had no such luck restoring it. Any ideas?

Did PGAdmin give you an error when trying to restore? If so, what did the error say?

PG did not give me an error. I had it running 8 hours last night and wheni woke up it said not responding. I am currently runnig it now and its been running for 4 hours. I am not sure if its acutally running and when i go to load my pt3 it now freezes.

Large databases can take quite a while - if you look in Task Manager is CPU still being used?

PG_restore.exe is taking like 2 cpu randomly. Doesnt seem like anything else is taking up much cpu.

There are 3 pg_restores running in the task manager

I have had this running for over 10 hours now and i am not sure if its working. I also tried to imoprt the hands that i played tody about 5khands and that ook over 2 hours to vaccum and cluster. Isnt that unsual since there is only 5k hands in my database.

Can i restore the database throuhg PGadmin and stil have pt3 open?
