From the Legacy Help Files: Hint: Backing up and restoring is an excellent way of moving your family file to a second PC or laptop. Just backup on the first PC and restore on the second. It makes a perfect copy -- nothing lost. 2. Put the disk or tape containing the backup file in its drive. 3. Click File on the menu bar and select Restore Family File from the file menu. 4. If any family files are open, you will see a message box prompting you to close them. Click the OK button. 5. When the Select a Backed up Family File to Restore window appears, make the following changes: Look in = Choose the floppy, tape, second hard drive or zip drive where the backup resides. The name of the backed up family file will appear in the large box. You can recognize it because it has a .zip extension. Click once on the file name to highlight it. File name = Should be the same as the file name in the large box described above. 6. Click the Open button and the Restore Location window will appear. 7. Check the drive in the small box at the bottom of the screen. It should be your hard drive (not the drive that the backup is on). The default or normal location for Legacy family files is the C:\Legacy\Data folder. Starting with the top folder (the drive) double-click on the folders in the large box until you come down to the subfolder where you keep your family files. 8. Click the OK button. 9. If you get message boxes warning that a family file or file ending with .FG already exist, click the OK buttons and proceed. 10. Next a progress bar will move across your screen as the program restores your backed up family file. When done you will see a message box asking, "Would you like to Open the Restored Family File?" Click the Yes button. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
