Dora, The back-up zip files contain all the information necessary to restore
the Family files if the whole thing goes belly-up.

The data files are in the Data folder under Legacy.
Legacy is pretty straightforward. You should see Rootsmagic's system!
You wan tto copy the family file, and then there are two or three little
associated files with the same name, that I always copy to be safe. If you
want to you can go into the backup folder and copy the backup files as
well. Always delete any preexisting copies of these before you make new
copies, or you will find yourself with a single zipped file containg more
than one file.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Which files do I back up?
I have been through the archives and did not find the answer to my
specific question. I don't know if I'm just not using the right
criteria or if I'm simply missing something. This is a very basic
question and I'm sure the answer is somewhere, I just haven't found
it.
Anyway, I finally got a new CD burner (my other one wouldn't recognize
any disks) and I want to back my family files up on a regular basis.
My question is WHICH files do I back up to maintain current backups of
my family files? Do I just back up the zip files? Do I back up
everything in my C:/Legacy/Data folder? Or do I back up both? I'm
relatively new to Legacy after using FamilyTreeMaker for years. FTM
didn't make zip files, and it was easy to tell the correct files to
back up. I'm just a bit confused and don't want to miss anything.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Elaine O'.
