You can not restore from a copy, however you can copy the files from the external drive back to the PC.
You only have to ensure that you copy everything to the right locations so the paths are correct.

The Error 508 instruction suggested doing the backup to the Desktop.
I changed my Backup files to that but STILL got BOTH 503 and 508 errors.  
What gives here?

Cindy,
Here are the Support articles on your errors.

http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00261/11/Error-Messages-Problems/Error-503-Backup-problem.html

http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00271/11/Error-Messages-Problems/Error-508-Cannot-move-temporary-file-to-target-zip-file.html

It's a bit strange to get either of these if you are backing up to your computer hard drive as you indicate.
The default location for backups is ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder but that's because it's a folder Legacy created so knows about. You should backup to an external drive or to a folder that syncs to the cloud - like a Dropbox folder or Google Drive or OneDrive.

To use the backup data zip, you don't unzip it yourself. You use File > Restore File in Legacy and it does the unzipping as part of the process.

For some reason, my backups have stopped working. When I try to backup 
I receive either a 503 or a 508 error message

telling me that the system cannot Access the .zip files.  I have my 
backup locations set as C:User\/myname/\Documents\Legacy

Family Tree\Data\/database name\/8-17-2021-2021-8-17 4.51.27 PM.zip 
AND C:User\/myname/\Documents\Legacy

Family Tree\Data\/database name\/8-17-2021-2021-8-17 4.51.27 
PM-media.zip

I opened the last file that I saved to my USB flash drive (K:) to try 
and backup on my C: drive.  The latest backup (zip) files showing

In my C: drive are dated 8-11-2021.

I tried to do a restore from the unzipped K: drive, but the unzipped 
files don’t show when I use the Restore icon in Legacy software.

I obviously don’t understand how the files are relating to each other. 
What should I do now?

Basically I want to get the unzipped file from my K: USB flash drive 
resident onto my C: Legacy 9 software so that I can create a

Zipped backup file and be able to proceed backing up future changes. I 
have 1057 individual names in my database. I am using

Legacy 9 version 9.0.0.182 and I am running Microsoft 10 Pro 64bit 
version 2004 (May 2020 update)
