I can't see the point of making Legacy backups. I keep all Legacy datafiles in a sub-folder of My Documents and they are backed up every week (onto an external hard drive) with all my other documents and data by a specialised backup/restore program, which is likely to be more reliable and flexible than anything built into Legacy (and much safer than anything in the cloud).
I have used Legacy for about 8 years without problems and never heard of File Maintenance or run it to my knowledge. John Clifford -----Original Message----- From: Marnie Oakes [mailto:marnie.oa...@verizon.net] Sent: 19 January 2012 20:20 To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Check/Repair Right now I have no Legacy problems. However, I have not run File Maintenance in weeks because the last time I did I ended up with a very mixed up files. Children of parents in the 1900s ended up in Medieval families; individuals from my husband's database were intermixed with mine, etc. I went back to my backups and have been ignoring the problem. I am concerned that I should be doing the maintenance or that a problem may occur that requires maintenance for the solution. Any hints on how to do run check/repair without problems? Making backups certainly saved my data. I checked the archives, but didn't find that anyone else had had my problems.
