> Good point, John, on the "being satisfied with Windows backup of FTM > database". I think you just solved the whole issue!!!!!!!!!!! Generally, this LIST works very hard at supporting one another. I do caution you that with FTM of the 2011 variety, that your dataset and your media are NOT in the same file UNLESS you have a .FTMB file. The typical .ftm is smaller than a .ftmb, so be SURE to look! John

Thanks John. I am aware of the media and dataset not being in the same file except in the FTMB file. I have all the media and dataset backed up on two separate hard drives and off-site flash drives and DVD. I carried that over from my engineering days. > From: johnokerson@gmail.com > To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:48:38 -0600 > Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] FTM CRASHES > > > Good point, John, on the "being satisfied with Windows backup of FTM > > database".
