Backing up "the Legacy program" as Ron is asking and backing up data are two different problems. Backing up the program would mean having it on other media such as CD or available for download via the Internet as suggested.
It is best to start a reinstall in a clean place. Remember = Never put clean clothes on a dirty body. With MS Windows this isn't always very easy. If a reinstall is required because of corrupt files, it would be nice to know what registry entries need to be removed and what subdirectories should be deleted. I seriously doubt that Legacy's uninstaller removes all its files and entries. I have yet to see an uninstaller that did. Perhaps Millennia Corp could write a doc showing us how to truly clean Legacy out of our systems, so we may be better assured that the reinstall will be clean.

Ron,
Just go to our website at http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Tips.asp, where you'll find an extensive article under "Backing Up and Restoring Family Files".
You can always download the latest build of the program itself from our website. All updates are cumulative.
Thanks for using Legacy.

Hi all,
Will SKS please advise how to back up the Legacy program itself and what files need to be included? With all the updates now installed in the program, it would be hell to start back from the original CD and have to add the updates. Is it possible to do this or is the program protected in some way to guard against piracy?
