Brian, Oops - I usually am better about including links. First, in the program Help this link does not work:
Backing Up and Restoring Family Files Everything You Need to Know About Backup and File Restoration by James P. Terry See the article on the Legacy website at: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/helpMediaBackups.asp 5-510 But if I copy & paste that into my browser............ then mid-way down the screen (without scrolling) you find: Restoring Multimedia Backup Files * Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP all have a built Extraction Wizard. Just RIGHT click on a backup file (has a .ZIP extension) and click on Extract All on the pop-up menu. The Legacy program does not (yet) have a utility that will restore (unzip) a multimedia backup. As a result, multimedia backup file cannot be restored in Legacy the same way that a backed family file can. However, if you have Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP you only need to insert your backup disk or memory stick into the your pc and use the Extraction Wizard that comes with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. 1. Browse to the backed up multimedia file and click on it with the RIGHT mouse button and then select Extract All from the popup menu. >2. The Extraction window will open. > * Windows 7 and Windows Vista: Type C:\ as the folder where the > pictures will >be extracted to and then click Extract. Follow the prompts. > > * Windows XP: Click the Next button and in the next screen type C:\ as > the >directory where the pictures will be extracted to and then click >the Next button. Follow the prompts. My suggestion is to not lead with "Just right click"... I had the folder on my E: drive the first time; then I thought I remembered what had been discussed on the LUG list but no... I got a Legacy folder added to Pictures; then one added to Legacy, etc....... until I came back and read the whole thing. Imho, the most important part is "Type C:\ as the folder..." ;) Thanks for following up on this one! --Paula ________________________________ From: Brian/Support <br...@legacyfamilytree.com> To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sat, February 25, 2012 4:10:54 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Restoring Multimedia Backup Files Paula, What does the first bullet say? What is the Help Topic Number, you will find that at the very bottom of the help page. It will help me find the particular Help topic.
