John,

That saves the fields displayed on the view but does it also include the column 
widths?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud

[scjones]

Many thanks Brian,

I already use One Drive for those items I want saved on my computer. I
was hoping to perhaps have a different one for Legacy, with the option
that was available on the back up screen, asking if I wanted Legacy
saved. 

_Sorry that the Legacy Cloud will no longer operate. It was so easy to
correctly reinstall all my Legacy data on a new computer.._

_Thank you again for your suggestions,_

 There are several cloud backup/storage services:
 Some offer Free storage that is usually adequate for a Legacy

 but may not be sufficient if you also store your media backups on the

 These offer free storage
 Dropbox
 OneDrive by Microsoft
 Backup and Sync by Goggle (Goggle Drive)

 They also have expanded storage for a fee.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Index" columns

[Brian Kelly]

I suggest you report this as a problem to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com. 
I looked in the bug list and could not find a previous report of the issue.


There is a similar problem report that columns do not resize when font 
sizes change but that was the only one I found related to column width 
in Index View.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud

[Robin McCarthy]

Gloria, et al:

I used Carbonite for many years. Their customer service and support is great 
and easy to reach. They were a great help when I needed to migrate my data to a 
new computer.  One of the things that attracted me to Carbonite was the 
continual backup as I worked on documents. Over time, it seemed their practice 
changed and my modified computer files were not getting backed up immediately. 
I contacted Support to ask about this and was told that backups were done once 
every 24 hours. Since I don't leave my computer on overnight, I was manually 
telling Carbonite to back up files I modified before shutting down the computer.

Additionally, Carbonite does not automatically back up video files (MP4). You 
must individually select each one and add it to your backup. Carbonite also 
discontinued their feature of allowing mobile devices (phones and tablets) to 
be backed up as part of a subscription. Finally, Carbonite requires a separate 
subscription for each computer you want to back up.

For these reasons, I switched to iDrive https://www.idrive.com/ two years ago. 
They offer 5 terabytes of backup storage for $69.95/year and unlimited devices, 
including mobile devices. They currently have a special offer of just $6.95 for 
your first year of service. Their service offers continual or scheduled backup, 
as well as many of the same things Carbonite offers. I have a desktop computer, 
two laptops, my tablet, and cell phone being backed up and have only used 5% of 
my allocated 5 terabytes.  FYI, I have no affiliation with iDrive other than 
being a satisfied customer.

I also use Dropbox, but mostly as short-term storage for items I need to access 
from anywhere or while in-transit awaiting transfer to one of my other 
computers. You can get an additional 500 MB of free storage at Dropbox for each 
person you refer and signs up for their own free account. As a result, I now 
have 8 GB of free storage at Dropbox.

Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive (Microsoft) and others of this ilk are not true 
backup services. They are just cloud storage similar to an external hard drive, 
but on another company's servers. You must proactively choose to move files to 
any of those services to keep them backed up. They are similar to what you do 
if you use an external drive; the difference being your data is stored on 
another company's servers away from your home. The advantages being that you 
can access your data from any computer anywhere (which, by the way you can also 
do with Carbonite, iDrive, Backblaze, etc.) and, if your house burns down, your 
data is still protected. For this reason, some people use these cloud storage 
services for their genealogy software program database (Legacy, RootsMagic, 
Family Tree Maker, etc.), assuming the software supports such a configuration.

It is good to have both a traditional cloud backup service like Carbonite, 
iDrive, Backblaze, etc. in addition to cloud storage. In fact, IT people 
advocate a 3-2-1 backup plan:

* 3 copies of your backups, one copy on your primary computer
* 2 backup copies on 2 different media (external hard drive, flash drive, cloud 
storage, CD, DVD)
* 1 backup copy offsite (cloud storage, safe deposit box, someone else's home)
* LOCKSS - "Lots of copies keeps stuff safe"

They each have their place and purpose in our genealogy work.

Hi, Gloria.  Sorry, I don't use dropbox, so I don't have an answer to your
question.  I've been working with family history (with Legacy software) and
family pictures (now with ACDSee) for almost 20 years.  It gives me a lot
of comfort knowing that Carbonite updates files as I work through the day.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud

[Gloria DeSousa]

YAY! That's what I want to hear. Thank you Gary :-) Do you know if there's
a good reason to have DropBox's extended storage for a fee in addition to
Carbonite? I'm wondering what the perks are, if any.
Thank you,
Gloria

Re: [LegacyUG] Place of Death

[M Sonnier via LegacyUserGroup]

Using the actual place of death is correct, ie., city in which the nursing home 
is located.  Attach pdf documentation when possible.  This is the one area that 
family members want to challenge because they forgot that grand paw died in the 
hospital in the neighboring city. The ancestor's residence has already been 
documented by a census or city directory.  In the event of the absence of 
permanent residence documentation, simply create an event titled residence 
which will allow you to attach documentation such as pics of the house.

Where I know it, I always use the full address in the Location field of 
an Event. In the case of someone dying somewhere other than their usual 
residence I enter the death address in the Death Place field and add a 
Residence event which reads "On , at the time of his/her death, 
his her/address was ..."

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud

My laptop went belly up several years ago.  Carbonite saved the day.  Yes,
it took a long time to restore the files to my new hard drive, but I'll be
forever grateful.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud

[Gloria DeSousa]

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!
Gloria :-)

Re: [LegacyUG] Gedcom Report

Earlier in 2020 IO was given instructions on how to do Ancestor and 
Descendent reports.
When I did it as either Descendant Reports or Ancestor Reports as per 
the instructions by Alan it came out exactly how I wanted it to. That is 
fine if I want to send or print a book report.


Now is there any way I can send the same file as a Gedcom file please. 
If so how?

I have tried for so long without success.


Your problem is in thinking of a Gedcom as a "Report", which it is not. 
 It is actual records presented in a generic way.


To export a Gedcom you need to go to File>Export>Gedcom file.  To get 
the particular records you want, from Record Selection select "Selected 
records contained in the Focus Group" and then click on Create Focus 
Group.  From there, select either "Add an individual and ancestors" or 
"Add an individual and descendants."


That's a basic overview of the process.  I suggest you start to work 
through it and then come back for more help if the need arises along the 
way.
