RE: [LegacyUG] WinZip and how to Restore
Keith one needs a separate program to unzip and file the picture back-up. Whether Windows own program will do this I don't know as I have always used a separate program, which co-incidentally is what the Help Files recommend.

Second - you do NOT need to UNZIP to RESTORE. The RESTORE a BACKUP - open LEGACY - Choose File - RESTORE. It will tell you it must stop LEGACY - that is OK. Choose the BACKUP FILE you want (if from your flash drive - choose that one) - and let the file rebuild (takes very little time). That should get you back into things. The Multimedia BACKUP - I must leave to someone else - I just back-up the LEGACY FOLDERS for DOCS and PICTURES. If I must restore them - I just replace the ones in the LEGACY FOLDER with the back-ups. Hope this helps...

Re: [LegacyUG] WinZip and how to Restore
Keith is correct in that you do not *need* a third party program for zipping and unzipping, and that includes for the picture backup. It may be that that section of the help was never revised after Microsoft added basic zip functionality to XP (and Vista). (For info on the built-in Windows zipping, see http://www.logicaltips.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=594 ) I also have used WinZip, 7-Zip, Izarc and ZipGenius in the past. The latter three are free and do not nag you about updates as WinZip does. The 3rd party programs add additional features that Windows does not have but none of them are *necessary* if you are running XP or later.

Re: [LegacyUG] WinZip and how to Restore
I was just please when I did not need to download WinZip with my XP machine a few years back. I had used it since DOS 3.1 times... or somewhere back there in ancient history! :-) Keith On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 10:03 AM, Gary Templeman gtemplem...@comcast.net wrote: Keith is correct in that you do not *need* a third party program for zipping and unzipping, and that includes for the picture backup.
