To consolidate those hands into more manageable number of files, try an 'archiver' utility like Zip, to compress and pack them into an archive, which you can store on CD and then unpack into a directory for re-import. That will save you alot of burning to as hand histories should compress very well.

There are tools around, to move files based on pattern matching into seperate directories, so you could may be move off all a months Hands into 1 directory.

Postgres SQL is a Open Source SQL (Structured Query Language) DataBase. You'll have to move off access when you upgrade PT to new version. And then you'll have to reimport hands anyway, as the new version stores more info, than was in the old Access DB.
