Can I move ONLY the TT-cache from one machine to another?

[domino66]

I only use PT3 for TT right now.
My PT3 DB has around 8M HHs in it, and occupies a whopping 32-gigs of space on my desktop.

I would like to be able to use TT from both my desktop AND my laptop, but I don't want to have to keep moving this entire 32-gig behemoth from my desktop to laptop every time I add a few hundred-thousand HHs to it (basically, I have to back it up on my desktop, and restore it on my laptop.) Not only is this very very cumbersome (and takes ages), but my laptop simply doesn't have that much free space on it, and since all I'm using PT3 for is TT, maneuvering this 32-gig monster seems like overkill.

My understanding, though, is that PT3 now employs a cache of some type, so shouldn't it theoretically be possible to just move the CACHE from one machine to another, and have TT pull stats from that? One of the best things about Sixth Sense was the "PTAGG" tool that essentially packed all of the player stats it displayed into a very very small postgreSQL cache, which would be backed up in about 5 mins and restored on a dif machine in another 5 mins, and barely took up any space at all.

OK, now that I've laid out what I'd like to be able to do above (namely, more easily be able to use TT on different machines), what do you recommend?

Try networking the database to see if this works for you: Tutorial: Networking your database. This will only work if the computers are behind the same router. Once you take one outside your local network this will fail. You will have to revert back to what you were doing before to make this work then (unless you know networking well, and can modify the tutorial above to work outside your network as well as inside the network).

They are not behind the same router, and I"m not a networking guru.

Anyone else help here? Is there nothing I can do to just 'move' the cache?

At the moment there is no simple way to do what you request, no. I believe this sort of functionality is planned though.
