Ian,
How familiar are you with Advanced Tagging in Legacy? Read up on what
Entire Ancestor Tree tagging and Entire Descendant Tree tagging mean.
They are powerful but don't work usefully if there are multiple links
between branches in your family.
How familiar are you with using View > Trees to tag groups of people?
Trees does not auto update so don't forget to click Refresh. Each tree
is named by the person in it with the lowest RIN. You can use Tools >
Renumber RINs so that island of people are named by someone you
recognise or you can add a note in Privacy brackets to the name of
person in that tree with the lowest RIN.
Here are other ways to Split a File.
<https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2018/07/tuesdays-tip-splitting-a-file-advanced-.html>
I wouldn't split if you intend to keep updating both files. I'd only
split in order to give part of my file to someone else.
If you need to collect together the media linked to the smaller file,
use the Media backup to zip it together. This won't affect what is
linked in the larger file.
You could then send that media to someone else or, if desired, unzip it
to a completely different folder and tell Legacy that that is where the
media for that file is. Options > Customise 6.2 is family file specific.
The Media Relinker can relink provided you don't change the actual
filenames.

I would appreciate suggestions from those more expert than I am in
using Legacy Family Tree program.
I decided some time ago to put “everyone” into the same .FDB file. I
find it easy to use the Tags and to search, and I am familiar with the
various “families” that do not actually relate at all to my tree.
But I want to export a fairly large number of individuals from one
“family”, to be used within a separate .FDB file.
There may be a tutorial at Legacy FT website, but I have not explored
that.
My idea is that I tag them, starting from the (several) most-recent
and working up (further in the past), thereby tagging and exporting
those from biologically unrelated families further in the “horizontal”
direction.
I do NOT want to delete those individuals from my main (very large)
Legacy database.
For those that I want to export, there would not be many/any
associated images or other entities (files) not within my .FDB database.
Is this a reasonable method? And what are the explicit commands needed
to get all (say) Tag 8 exported to a single .FDB file?
