Go up one level in this thread


opening books in chess base format are larger than other kinds of databases.
First can your book fit on a floppy? Second, have you tried to move the files
which you desire to back up in the windows explorer a9 or merely inside of fritz
gui)? Third, an advantage of moving large files using windows explorer is that
you can compress them first (like zip,man) also we do not know how much ram your
machine has but if it is a low amount and you have the fritz gui loaded and
maybe fritz engine with some big-ass hashtable then gosh you might not have a
large enough buffer to move that tree file!
Hope I helped, marc
