Go to File > Backup Family File You should see the path where Legacy is going to store your backup file just below the button which says "Select Name and Location for Data Backup" If the path is not where you want your backup stored click the button and select the correct location. Make sure there is a check mark in the Data Files box and in the Multimedia Files box if you also want to backup your multimedia.
