Morris, All the media file backup will do is restore the media to their original location it will not restore the links in the family file. The easiest way would be to save your current file with a different name or save it as a copy with a different name and then restore your family file from the backup that has the links. After it has been restored to the point before you deleted the links go to the copy of your family file then search for those individuals that you changed: search for individual> what to look for” change date equal to a date after the point of your last backup then tag the search list. You can then export all the tagged individuals to a new file or import only the tagged individuals into your current file.
From: M Sonnier Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2014 12:50 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Restoring picture links I have a backup of the Family file from Last night and prior. I have put so much information since, it may be better to manually relink the pics. Can I back the file now. Then take the last backed up media file and change the name to match the data file. Then restore. Would it accept or reject the media file? Morris On Thursday, April 3, 2014 10:41 AM, Sherry/Support <she...@legacyfamilytree.com> wrote: Morris, The pictures are still where they were.
