A Eureka Moment

I just now found an old backup of my genealogy files that isn’t screwed up like my current file!
I don’t know what happened, but a few months ago I discovered that my source documentation associated with each bit of data was mixed up. When discovered, all I could do was cry. I had checked all my backup files and either the current files were being associated with them or they were all corrupted and I’d never noticed. (At this point I usually just go in and add a new person, not looking at previous entries).
I thought I’d give it one more try today and found a backup copy under a different name that the program itself had saved. Bad news: it’s from 2007 so I’m losing a lot of additions made in the last 2 years. Good news: I can deal with that! It’s better than losing everything!!!
