I am using Version 8.0.0.189. I do a backup each time I close Legacy, attaching date and time to the file name.

Recently the backup has failed every time, and I get "Backup error 508: Cannot move temporary file to target zip file", and no backup is carried out. However the backup location is automatically changed to Desktop for the next time I close down. The recommended solution is to save to Desktop, which works but that is the only place I have found I can backup to. I then have to move the zip file, the biggest of which is only 13,000kb, to the normal place I keep backup files which is on the same C: drive as the Legacy database. (I periodical copy some files to Dropbox)

Sometimes when I either close Legacy or do a deliberate backup from File>Backup file I get the message "Error 503: Cannot open zip file". Again I can only backup to Desktop. The Help file for this error refers to other drives but no other drive is involved.

I have run File Maintenance> Check repair several times but it makes no difference. This problem occurs with any of my family files. This problem started within the last week and I have not installed any new programs or upgrades.

The Temporary files are in Docs ...LFT\_Appdata\ Temp, and the two files there are six months old. Should I delete these and let them start again? What is going wrong and how do I fix it?
