Re: [LegacyUG] Making a backup of my family file
I do the same as Bill with one addition; I send a GEDCOM to myself attached to an email and save it in my MSN folder, off -site and can be accessed anytime any where I suppose I also quality as paranoid !! My data base is not huge and I have loads of space on MSN. Pat I'm also looking at storing my back-ups on a commercial remote datastore.Call me paranoid if you like, but I've invested too much time and effort tolose it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Making a backup of my family file
Quite simple really; create a GEDCOM, I save mine in my Legacy folder: In an email addressed to yourself; click attach file, find your GEDCOM attach to your email and send. In "Folders on MSN" I created a folder and named it GEDCOM and backups, I then save my email including the attachment in that folder. Pat I like this! recognizing that GECOM probably isn't a perfect reproduction of the data. Could you give us a step-by-step process for attaching it to an e-mail?

Re: [LegacyUG] Making a backup of my family file
Thanks Sherry: I didn't know to do this, I had only thought of a GED. I have just tried with the backup emailed to myself, saved on msn, opened, saved, then restored to family file, worked like a charm. I am a novice at computers but as they say; never too old to learn. some days I'm just not too sure about that statement !! Pat I don't understand why you'd use a gedcom instead of doing a backup of theFamily File? The backup includes (most) all the ancillary files that arecreated when you're working with Legacy in the Family File including yourfocus group and merge in process. You should also do a multimedia backup toprotect your multimedia files that you have linked to in Legacy.Also, make sure you backup the igi file in the Legacy\Data folder - thatholds your IGI matches, the .ppl file, which is the potential problems listyou've created and the .rgd file which holds your work with the ResearchGuidance. It's on the list of the things to do for the programmers toinclude these files in the backup so in the meantime, you'll need toremember to save those!Thanks for using Legacy.SherryCustomer SupportMillennia Corporation[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.comWe are changing the world of genealogy!When replying to this message, please include all previous correspondence.Thanks.
