While doing my monthly file maintenance to keep Legacy 8.0, current release .473, functioning well, I discovered that Legacy has not created a backup since April 3. I have nearly 10,000 people in my file (35.4 MB) and am using Windows 7. I have Legacy set to back up whenever I log out and I alternate between my Dropbox folder anda backup folder on my C: drive.I also back up to Mozy and an external hard drive. Tonight when I closed Legacy I noticed that it closed immediately and did not seem to backup to create a .zip file, that is, there was no progress bar. I also thought I had made a backup before doing file maintenance, using the dialog boxin file maintenance, but I find no backup.
I have done the followingbased on some messages in the archives from Dec. 2009 and Jan. 2013: -Rebooted my computer and made a couple of changes to my file and tried backing up again. Same result:no backup created -Tried using File/Backup butsame result -Used CCleaner to be sure that I had space for a backup – same result -Tried backing up from the Index screen instead of the family screen – same result -I have checked all the boxes in the backup dialog box. -I have verified the absence of backup .zip files after 4/03 in Dropbox and my back up folder. -Tried backing up to a flash drive but that didn’t work either. I have not uninstalled Legacy.Is that my next step? I have copied my .fdb file to my flash drive so that I can uninstall/reinstall Legacy in the morning…..too sleepy now.I’d appreciate knowing if there is something I should try beforeI uninstall.
