Yes! Restoring replaces the existing file. What you need to do is first COPY your existing file. Then after the restore is done, you need to swap file names so that the restored backup is not your main file and the copied file becomes your main file. With this scheme, you can then open both the copied and the restored files in Legacy using the split screen and drag & drop between the two files. -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
