Gene,

I am only responding to your second observation about backups.  The
latest updates to Legacy 7 have included the backup date as part of
the file name to be backed up.  I am very happy about this update,
because I was saving my backups by date anyway.  This change has saved
me much time, since I backup my files after every session.  Of course,
you will have to delete older backups to make room for the newer ones.
 I've always wanted my last two or three backups, at least, just in
case I find something I need to go back several days to fix.  This may
be overkill, but I also alternate my backups between two jump drives,
just in case one of them fails for some reason.  I have a pretty
recent backup on both of my jump drives.  (I also use Mozy.  I'd
rather be safe than sorry.  Lesson learned the hard way.)
