Thank you all for the advice and pointers, I don't seem to be able to do a backup that stays. One drive is off, The location given by Legacy as the target space has a 2022 backup file but nothing 2023 A global search of .zip does not show the backup files. I even changed the name of the file and ran a backup to ensure that it was not getting lost in the mix. Nada. I am going to switch machines and try from there.
