Your Family File can be backed up to wherever you decide to put it. I can't tell you what the default is because I have long since changed it, but when you select Backup from the File Menu the first screen which appears has two wide bars across it, the upper one saying "Select name and location for data backup" and the lower one saying "Select name and location for multimedia backup." Immediately below each of these bars you can read off where your backups are going to be saved, and with what name, if you don't change anything. Whatever the filepath is, that is where your last backup will be found. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
