Tish: I have seven regular backup files, one labeled for each day of the week. So as I log off for the night, I select the file for that day. Once a month, I save my file as a GEDCOM and label it by the month, and upload it to Rootsweb's WorldConnect. I don't delete these monthly backups.
But best of all, I have backups done off site to Mozy.com. For free, you can back up your Legacy (and other important) files every day. They keep each new file backed-up permanently, until you have stored up to 2GB (yes gigabytes!) of data. So my daily backups are all saved, and I can find them by date at Mozy, if I need to go back further than a week or a month. Have any of you LUGgers been procrastinating about setting up your free Mozy backup? Let my email be the thing that gets you to sign up NOW. It really does not take much longer than a few minutes, and you can leave your PC on tonight while it starts its initial backup. You will have to Configure your backups so that it will save Legacy files stored under the Program folders. Mozy customer service walked me through it.
