You've been a tremendous help Cathy. The key is what you wrote in your last sentence "You use a Legacy backup from within Legacy. You go to File - Restore." I was going into File Explorer instead (I use Carbonite to sync to the cloud). It also helps to know why there isn't an Undo. Wish there was :-) I have trouble with Merges as well. I know there's the Undo Merge, but don't have a good handle on merging yet. I'm learning.
