Marie, If you can backup directly from your CD and restore from same, it is not a problem. Many of the people on this list do not have the software that will allow them to backup directly to their CD. These folks have no choice but to back up to their hard drive first then burn it to their CD.
Hope this helps. -- Best regards, Ron Bernier Woonsocket, RI > 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.
