Kirstin,
I am not clear about the first part of your question. There is no real need
to back-up these files as if they become corrupted then they can just be
deleted and Legacy will recreate them when you reset your settings. The
point I was making was only in relation to an occasion when one wanted to
reformat the disc and not as a general back-up. I don't back them up -
except that if a new version of Legacy comes out I do as a "just in case"
precaution.
The files in question are those which have a .USR extension and assuming
that you are using the Legacy defaults may be found by going to My
Computers>Local Disc (C)>Legacy.
Hope this helps.
Ron Ferguson

Ron, I am trying to save space in my backups. Where do I find the User
files?

I take that in this case you only saved the backup files to disc.
Assuming that you use Legacy defaults when installing, then save the whole
legacy folder to disc and then put it back on the C:\ drive after
reformatting and installing Windows. You will still have to reinstall
Legacy for it to work but your settings should still be OK. It is the User
files which are important in this respect.
