When you create a Family File this has the extension .fdb. Whenever you add or edit your data, you are making changes to this file, Legacy automatically saves you changes on the fly ie. as you do them, or more accurately, whenever you click a Save button. Backing up is something which you do as a separate operation, either when you exit the program, or by using File>Backup, or by using the Icon on the Toolbar. This file is a zip file, and in common with all zip files is read only. These processes are not dependant on where you store the two files in your set up.
