If you wish to highlight the direct-line ancestors for someone then select
yourself (or the start individual) in Family View, and go to
ToolsSet Direct Line as Preferred. You need to reset whenever the line is
changed by adding/deleting a direct line ancestor.

To the second part of your problems, the default for the backup adds the
