That's a coincidence! My main data drive crashed Monday. Fortunately, I keep an external drive exclusively for old and new data where I also keep my current genealogy data in case the main data drive dies. I've been down this road so many times before because you can't trust computers.
I would suggest if you don't want to invest in hardware for backing up to CD/DVD's, you can get those USB memory sticks (sometimes called thumb drives) for about $20 or less and backup your data to those. They're also very useful if you want to take your data with you. They small and some hold several gigabytes of data.

To make matters worse...I hadn't backed up my files...so they are gone as well. I have paper files that I can start from scratch with...but what do I do about the program itself. I have Legacy version 6 and I know it was upgraded. Do I reinstall Legacy 6.0 and then try to upgrade at the Legacy site?? - Deb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Researching the Following Familiy Ancestors: Taylor Family From Carter County, KY (Taylor Branch - Willard) Hicks Family From Boyd County, KY (Ashland) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Millemaci & Arlotta Families from Montalbano, Sicily ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
