Pat, This is direct from the help files.
Restore Family File To restore an existing Legacy Family File: 1. Choose Restore Family File... from the File menu. The Select a Family File Backup to Restore dialog appears. Note: You should only select a backup of a Family File. To restore media files use the built-in compressed files and folders utility in Windows XP and above or a zip file utility such as Winzip. 2. From the Restore Location dialog box, specify the drive and folder where you want the restored Family File placed. On 11/27/2014 12:42 PM, Pat Hickin wrote: > I want to restore my latest .fdb backup.
