Good Morning Everyone and Sherry, In reply to Jan, see below, you advised that she <do a backup of the Family File and then burn that backup over to the CD>.
When I close Legacy and am asked if I want to make a backup, I say yes and then choose to backup to a CD rather than to my hard drive. Why is that not an acceptable practice? After reading this series of messages regarding backups, I tried restoring one of the backed up files, and it worked. What am I missing? Why do I need to backup to the hard drive and then burn that to CD? Thank you for helping me to understand.

Jan, You should just do a backup of the Family File and then burn that backup over to the CD. That way, you'll have all the necessary associated files in one neat bundle with the main Family File. The backup file has the extension of .zip. I hope RW disks are more reliable than they used to be.... Thanks for using Legacy.

I backed up my Legacy files to a CD-RW. Now I've added more information and would like to back it up over what I have saved on the CD-RW. When I use my CD Creator and open my Legacy Data file, there are choices of family.fdb, family.FG, family.TC, and family.zip. Should I chose all of these or just certain ones? When using a CD-RW do I need to do anything to the Legacy file that is already on it before saving the new one? Thank you.
