Yes, Carbonite was one of the paid services I meant. I did not want to
mention any by name since I do not use any of them.

Thanks Brian. I use Carbonite as my cloud backup paid service. Do you
consider Carbonite* as one of the paid services you referred to? What do
you use as backup? I store my media on the service and why DropBox sends
me messages that it's full and no longer syncing but I don't know if
it's worth paying the additional cost to have more storage on DropBox,
and therefore drop Carbonite or have both. I also backup to a Toshiba
external harddrive, that doesn't allow me to look at my files. This
Toshiba harddrive was recommended by a computer repair person who also
can't configure the hard drive to where I can open folders and files. *I
have the lowest tier of Carbonite. It took over a week to download all
the files from Carbonite to my computer when I had computer trouble, and
why I'm shopping around.
Thanks for all your tips and help!

There are several cloud backup/storage services:
Some offer Free storage that is usually adequate for a Legacy Database
but may not be sufficient if you also store your media backups on the
service. My Media backup for example is a 2.7 Gigabyte file my Legacy
Backup is only 10 Megabytes
These offer free storage
Dropbox
OneDrive by Microsoft
Backup and Sync by Goggle (Goggle Drive)
They also have expanded storage for a fee.
There are also a number of paid services which provide cloud based
storage.
For Dropbox, Goggle Drive and OneDrive there is a special folder on
your
local hard drive set up by the service/App. Files stored there are
automatically synced to the cloud by the App. For those apps you only
need to set your backups to use the special local folder and the App
will send a copy to the cloud.
Most of the paid services allow you to specify folders and/or files
which the service will backup to the cloud. Designating your Legacy
Data
and Media folders in those services mean you can store your files and
backups wherever you wish and the service will sync them to the cloud
storage.
Because those cloud storage services are syncing files/folders from
your
local hard drive there is no need to have a second backup to the cloud
option once the legacy cloud storage shuts down.
There is a suggestion to modify the backup to allow making backups in
multiple locations, you can add your vote for this by submitting a
suggestion using the Link on the Legacy Home Tab or by email to
