Re: [LegacyUG] restoring a back up

Sherry, I joined the 2 Legacy lists and clicked on the confirmation and
again nothing has happened...no messages coming through...this happened the
last time I joined...
Sherry, I'm helping someone download Legacy Deluxe from the Internet shortly
and I needed to know if there was anything "tricky" that I would encounter,
or options that would mean I need to make decisions and wouldn't know what
to door is it pretty straightforward?

Re: [LegacyUG] restoring a back up

Restoring your Legacy file is just half of the job.
You need to restore the multimedia as a separate step.  In this case, you
need to "upzip" the multimedia file.
Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

RE: [LegacyUG] restoring a back up

2011-05-25 Thread William Boswell
That doesn't make much sense.  What would be the point of backing up your 
multimedia files if it only contains a link to where they are located?  I would 
assume the data backup for Legacy does that already.

The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the backup retains the same folder 
names that it backed up from, or does it just dump all of the media files into 
one folder.  I've never tried it with Legacy, but FTM restores all images to 
the same folder which I always hated since I keep my images organized by 
category or person's surname.  That's why I always back up my original 
uncompressed media folders frequently and a Legacy media backup after linking a 
bunch of images then delete the older ones.

Forrest,
This is how I understand the process...
Legacy doesn’t actually make a copy of your pictures and save them in the
multimedia backup. Legacy saves a list of links or pointers to where the
pictures are stored on your computer. If you have legacy on two different
computers then the pictures have to be in the exact same place on each of
those computers so that when legacy wants to display a particular picture it
looks at the pointer and knows where to look for the picture.

Re: [LegacyUG] restoring a back up

2011-05-25 Thread Sherry/Support
On our website at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Help Center > Tips, under
Backing Up and Restoring Famiily Files, you'll find an explanation of
how to extract the multimedia backup.

The multimedia backup contains all sounds, pictures, videos and
documents which you have linked to in Legacy. It does not contain any
other multimedia files.

When you extract the files on a new computer, unless you had them
originally stored in the c:\Legacy sub-folders for each file type, you
will need to relink them - however Legacy does this quckly for you.

When you go into a Picture Gallery and see the "question mark" icon,
just click on one of them and in the Find File window, select to let
Legacy search for the file.  That *should* re-link most all of the
multimedia files. You may have to browse for a file yourself, esp if
there's been an name change in the file itself.

Sherry

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but the backup of the
photographs is only the link to where the photographs are - not the
actual media files themselves - so if you are back up to another
computer unless those media files are on the other computer, in
exactly the same directory listing as your original computer, then you
will not find the photos.

RE: [LegacyUG] restoring a back up

2011-05-25 Thread Forrest
All the photographs are linked to a  person in the Legacy file - and show with 
the respective person

I know from experience that if your photographs are not linked to anyone in 
your Legacy file, they won't be backed up.  I have a lot of images that I keep 
in various subfolders beneath a main folder and when I do a backup, it skips 
the ones that are not linked to anyone.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] restoring a back up

My need is an explanation on restoring Legacy files from a backup

I back up the Legacy files daily from the button on the tollbar to a second 
hard drive and the backup comprises 2 zipped files with one the data file and 
the other named as multimedia {in my case photographs only}

When I restore the Legacy data from the back up to another {old} computer {that 
I keep for a safe backup storage} there are no photographs - all the data is 
perfect

Would someone kindly explain the procedure to have the photographs included 
with the restore in simple steps for a person that is not a computer expert

I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit and always update to the latest version of 
Legacy {de luxe}

Thanks from forrest in Australia
