You can always manually copy (no, not copy, but MOVE) your working file
and media to another location (using Windows Explorer or other file
manager), and then do a FILE, OPEN in Legacy to open that manually the
first time. And you may need to do a TOOLS, MEDIA RELINKER and/or a few
other tweaks as well. (Take a look at TOOLS, GATHER MEDIA as well -
I've never used it, but it appears this can be used to move your media
from within Legacy (vs manually moving it via Windows Explorer and then
relinking)).
After that it should show up in your "recently opened" list.
Or, rather than moving it manually you can do it from inside of Legacy.
Do a FILE, SAVE AS (but this will leave your old copy still in your
backup folder and you may accidentally open the wrong file sometime in
the future).
You probably want to also go into OPTIONS, CUSTOMIZE, and change
locations under 6.1 & 6.2 - but from what I've seen these are the
"preferred" locations but you can "override" them by doing a SAVE AS and
then can save (and later load) files from anywhere.
You may also want/need to change OPTIONS, CUSTOMIZE, and modify 1.2

Robin,
It's probably best to contact Support to sort out what you are doing.
some general things to check:
If the data file on your hard drive is updating then you do have a
working copy on your hard drive. Legacy datafiles save automatically
every time you enter a bit of data and click Save.
Backup zips are saved to the backup folder.
Backups are restored when necessary, not opened. Is it possible that
you opened a file from within a backup zip? That can cause a mess.

of the info (people, place, ect). It keeps saving it in my backup.

Legacy just keeps one

one on my laptop.
What iam i missing??
Go to Options --> Configure --> 6 File Locations
You can see the default locations for data files, and change them
to whatever
you want.
