The .RC3 file is the calculated relationships within the database.  The 
database will recreate the file when you run a relationship calculation from 
the displayed and highlighted person you are displaying on the screen.  Not 
vital to the operation of the database.

Subject: [LegacyUG] File recovery from damaged sectors


Good afternoon,
 
I keep my Legacy file on a portable hard drive that the micro USB port was 
damaged on.  My husband has been able to pull 95% of the information that was 
on that drive over on to another one, but there are some damaged sectors.  One 
of the files he can’t reclaim is the .RC3 file from my database.
 
The question becomes: how vital is that file?  I have about ten databases, and 
only two of them have a file with that extension, and it figures that the one 
we can’t retrieve belongs to the largest file, and my personal file to boot.  
Will the database run without it, or recreate it?
 
Help!
 
Thank you,
 
Maureen
