Tic the 2nd box "make a list of missing media" and Proceed. Are there missing Media files? If not your only problem is the duplicates. If there are missing files let us know.

That is why you are not seeing the warning about overwriting media. The difference in files on the desktop and the laptop probably means you have media files on the desktop which are not linked to anything in your file so they are not included in the backup of your Legacy media and were not restored to the laptop when you extracted the media from your media backup file. To restore from your media backup you need to use Windows compressed file tools or another program which can extract files from a .zip compressed file.

The first time I transferred my media I followed the instructions available on Legacy's site. Everything seemed to go well. I decided to check the number of items in the media folder on the laptop compared to those on my desktop. I have about 11,000 items on my desktop but only about 8,000 on the laptop. Further when I transfer my data file it asks if I want to overwrite the existing file, and I say yes and everything seems to be OK with that part. However it does not ask me to overwrite the media files. Would this not put duplicates in the media file? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks George
