Then where is a safe place to do a backup? I did it on the usb drive and my media didn't come over. Now I have to figure out how to find the media and re hook it up, tried the media re linker and it didn't find any of the pictures. All I wanted to do was create a separate file of my Legacy 7 file and see how it would work on Legacy 8. Now I am all messed up. Sometimes technology just gets the best of me.
