On our website at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Help Center > Tips, under Backing Up and Restoring Famiily Files, you'll find an explanation of how to extract the multimedia backup.
The multimedia backup contains all sounds, pictures, videos and documents which you have linked to in Legacy. It does not contain any other multimedia files. When you extract the files on a new computer, unless you had them originally stored in the c:\Legacy sub-folders for each file type, you will need to relink them - however Legacy does this quckly for you. When you go into a Picture Gallery and see the "question mark" icon, just click on one of them and in the Find File window, select to let Legacy search for the file. That *should* re-link most all of the multimedia files. You may have to browse for a file yourself, esp if there's been an name change in the file itself.
