Sherry, Might I suggest that the .IGI file be an optional file included in the backup selected under the Options / Customize area.
My .IGI file is over 250MB. I don't want it added to my backup file if this can be avoided.

The backup includes (most) all the ancillary files that are created when you're working with Legacy in the Family File including your focus group and merge in process. You should also do a multimedia backup to protect your multimedia files that you have linked to in Legacy. Also, make sure you backup the .igi file in the Legacy\Data folder - that holds your IGI matches, the .ppl file, which is the potential problems list you've created and the .rgd file which holds your work with the Research Guidance. It's on the list of the things to do for the programmers to include these files in the backup so in the meantime, you'll need to remember to save those! Thanks for using Legacy.

In "Folders on MSN" I created a folder and named it GEDCOM and backups, I then save my email including the attachment in that folder.
