Rick and Virginia, First of all I thought, too hard, then decided to give it a go. I backed up my prime project - paranoid set in. I deleted each of the other two projects and restored them changing the folders to read \Projects\Selwyn and Projects\Sturgeon Others. I noticed something not right in my layout, corrected it and resaved it. TMG hung after turning grey. I had to close down without saving and restart. Not sure I did it right as every restore wizard window that came up I created a new sub-folder, should I have done that? I could see these subfolders along with Sample under Projects, which I am sure is correct. Being paranoid (the hanging thing) I have deleted those projects again. Then manually deleted the folders as even though I deleted the project there were files remaining under the folders I created. Perhaps some also lurking elsewhere on my computer. I am now left with my main project called National Park and back up .sqz files of my two other projects. I did a little tweak with the layout and saved it, no hanging. Obiously I did not get it right in the restore wizard - should I only made a sub-folder under the projects??

Did you go to Terry's site to look for directions, or follow Virginia's advice to read and understand TMG Help's sections of the Data File Storage? I haven't checked Terry's instructions (even to verify he *has* such instructions) nor have I done this task, so I'm not going tell you how I think it's probably best done, but I'm pretty sure the backup/restore method is not the best.
