3.4.28 Archive database

B a ckup D a ta ba s e (o r C trl- Z )

Click this in the database window. All files that make up the current database will be
compressed into a single “archive file” (with the ending .cbv).

All ChessBase programs can open and unpack these archive files into a normal
database.
Archive files are compressed and can be sent as a single file by email. They are also
the best way to publish games on the Internet.

3.4.29 Install on Harddrive

Inst a ll on Ha rddriv e

This program comes with a collection of high quality games, which are located in the
directory \DATABASE on the DVD. If you want to add games to this database, or
simply to access it faster, you should copy it onto your hard disk.
In the database window click Da t a ba se F unc t ions

Inst a ll on Ha rddriv e .

The program will ask you for a directory and then copy all necessary files into it.

3.4.30 Backup database
Any database in ChessBase format actually consists of multiple files.
When you create a database in .CBH format, you'll notice that the program
(ChessBase, Fritz, or one of the other playing programs) will ask you to name the .CBH
file. This does not indicate that the whole database is stored in just that one file!
The .CBH file stores just the header information from the games in the database; the
annotations are stored in another file, the moves in yet another, each key is kept in
its own file, etc.
What this means is that when you make a backup of a ChessBase/Fritz database, you
need to backup all the files that make up the database. A ChessBase/Fritz database in
.CBH format is composed of a minimum of seven and as many as twenty separate files.
