Tom, I just re-read your message about how you "back up using a separate programme". You should use the built-in backup of Legacy which will produce 2 zip files...one for the data structures and one for linked media files. Then you can use your separate program to store those backups elsewhere if you wish. The important thing that you will miss is the ability to "Restore" a Legacy backup data zip file. The zip file contains more than the fdb file. The Legacy backup gathers all the various pieces of a given database into the data zip file and the zip technology compresses that to make it smaller. A zipped file will not open unless it is intact so a corrupted zip file won't work. That gives some degree of integrity to the zip file. The media zip backup is un-zipped by regular Windows utilities. Ron Taylor

The common recommendation is to download the full standard free version and install it over the previous program. If you have deluxe, the installer will find your license and authorize it again. Then "Restore" your most recent backup. Hope that works for you.

I back up using a separate programme and onto a separate drive completely.

It caused my computer to crash and now I cannot open Legacy at all. It says it is an “unrecognised database format”. Any ideas on how to fix this please? Thanks.
