Hi Virginia,
The current version of Legacy is 8.0.0.566
How much do you know about where your files are saved?
The default folder for data in Legacy 8 is Documents/Legacy Family
Tree/Data but you can save it wherever you like.
However, you have to have this folder: Documents/Legacy Family Tree/ as
it has a folder in it that keeps your settings - including which family
file to open.
You set that in Legacy at Options - Customise 1.2
To see where your Legacy backups are being saved in Legacy go to File -
Backup and it's on the screen underneath the button that says: Select
Name and Location for Data Backup (and a similar one for the Media backup).
But I think you are talking about a backup system for your whole
computer? I can't tell you how that works because I don't know what
backup program you are using.
Ask the person who set it up for you. I think someone else must have
done it because if you'd done it yourself, you'd know.
Here's an article on going from one computer to another.

There are some others at support.legacyfamilytree.com that may be relevant.

Hello: I think this problem was addressed a few weeks ago. Sorry but I
didn’t know I was going to need it.
Here’s the story: I agreed to the latest update in July (8.0.0.559) to
Legacy, turned off the computer, and on return from vacation, rather
than my family file page coming up, I was asked to select a List of
files. The best choice is to “Have Legacy Create a List” but that
includes only one that directly relates to my family with .fdb
extension and not samples. So, I have been finding that and entering
data the usual way. How do I set Legacy so that file will come up
every time? How do I know the daily back-up set for an external hard
drive is finding the right file?
Second question: where are the instructions for installing Legacy and
family files on a new computer, which I am going to get next month. I
think I’ve read about them but don’t know where to look.
Thank you.
