Would you PLEASE turn off your return receipt request when posting to the list?
I really don't think you want everyone on the list sending you return receipts all at once, do you? :) Todd ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2009 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Failure to backup Thanks. I have every thing checked and I have since I started using Legacy when 7.0 came out. It really is not a problem to do a back up outside Legacy. However it used to work perfectly until the last update. I am using the latest version. It's just that I am wondering why rebooting my computer provides a temporary fix.

The only things different when using the program's backup function are: 1. backups are compressed and archived with a .zip extension 2. backups can have a time/date stamp in the file name (big deal...that exists already as part of the NTFS file system on the hard drive. OK, it is handy and easier to see when its part of the filename.) 3. The program's utility allows you to include a number of program preferences and settings files as part of the backup. 4. It’s a one click solution once you have made your choices (which thankfully are sticky). 5. Users begged Millenia to include such a utility and there ain't no going back.

It depends how much I use the program. I can use the backup function if I reboot the computer (which I assume releases the RAM that was tied up) and use the backup the very first time I launch Legacy. I have 1 Gig on my computer by the way. [email protected] wrote: Have you tried going to File/backup? I use that as opposed to the dialog reminder when I close Legacy. Does the same issue or problem occur using File/backup? Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2009 5:38 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Failure to backup I am having a persistent problem with Legacy failing to perform the back up function. The backup dialog box comes up and I select backup. Nothing happens and the program shuts down. Is there a memory problem? Does Legacy latch onto Ram memory, and never let it go? I can easily do a manual back up by copying my entire data file, but something seems wrong here. Legacy had me do a reinstall and this seemed to solve the problem for a day or two but it seems to be back. Any suggestions?
