Backups are being discussed as a side issue in anther thread so I thought I would open a thread and point out a couple of other considerations for backing up. Of course, your data and multimedia are the most important items to keep current on your backup media, but there other things one might like to backup. If you ever need to uninstall and reinstall you will lose your customization files (.usr). I keep a copy of all .usr files on my backup drive. Also if you have saved searches, they are saved as .sc0 files and you would lose them.
If you have developed Internet searches and organized them into pages of internet searches you will have some .lis and .cis files that would be lost. The .usr, .sc0 and .cis files are found in the c:/Legacy folder. The .lis files are found in the c:/Legacy/iSearch folder. There may be more that I am not aware of. If anyone knows of others I would appreciate it if you would point them out. bgj 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
