CBONE format ChessBase now supports a new database format with the extension *. cbone. This format is listed in the dialogs for opening and saving files. The advantage of this format is that in contrast to the CBH format the whole database is stored in one file. This makes the format suitable for backups and for sending to other people. If you use a large number of small files you should consider using this format. It is possible to exchange games between CBH, CBF and PGN databases. You can create databases in any of these formats and copy games into it.
CBCloud Format The CBCloud format is made up of only four files. There are no index files for the players, tournaments, etc. The same data can be stored as in the CBH format, but due to the lack of index files there are less functions to access the data. Sorting and two-level deleting is possible.

The program now asks you if you want to register all the file types used by the program.
