Hi, I just installed the latest update of Legacy, 7.0.0.109, premium into XP, Home edition, (10 year old computer with 125 gb. memory).
Since I'm not working on Legacy right now, I backed up from the file drop down. I have all 6 boxes checked under data files. My *.fdb file is 131 mb. complete back-up in about 1 min. Thought of a qhick data change, clicked exit, was asked for back-up, clicked yes and same good results. I wish my #&$%^& HP scanner worked anywhere near as good!

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?
