George,
First find out where you unzipped your media backup or copied your media
folders to.
Then at Options - Customise 6.2 enter your top media folder (assuming
you have media in a number of sub-folders under one folder)
That may be enough to find all your media re-linked
If not, go to Tools - Media Relinker. It will search your computer for
all media files and then present the ones it finds with the same names
as ones linked to Legacy so that you can confirm whether or not it has
found the right file. If you use the button that says something like
also relink others in this folder, the task is quicker.

When I followed your instructions to test all media folders, it tells
me I am missing 8,000 files.

Hi George,
On your laptop click: Options>Locations>under 6.2 Test all Media Folders.
Tic the 2nd box "make a list of missing media" and Proceed.
Are there missing Media files? If not your only problem is the duplicates.
If there are missing files let us know.

Since you cannot restore your media files from within Legacy you
cannot be overwriting media. That is why you are not seeing the
warning about overwriting media. The difference in files on the
desktop and the laptop probably means you have media files on the
desktop which are not linked to anything in your file so they are not
included in the backup of your Legacy media and were not restored to
the laptop when you extracted the media from your media backup file.
To restore from your media backup you need to use Windows compressed
file tools or another program which can extract files from a .zip
compressed file.

I purchased a new laptop to take south with me this year. I have been able
to transfer my data to it with no problem. The first time I transferred my
media I followed the instructions available on Legacy's site. Everything
seemed to go well. I decided to check the number of items in the media
folder on the laptop compared to those on my desktop. I have about 11,000
items on my desktop but only about 8,000 on the laptop.
Further when I transfer my data file it asks if I want to overwrite the
existing file, and I say yes and everything seems to be OK with that part.
However it does not ask me to overwrite the media files. Would this
not put
duplicates in the media file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
George
