Russ, You would still have to get it from one machine to the other, which is what the main question was about. Unless I am emailing a family file I usually transfer the .fdb file rather than the back-up, whichever method I use. In fact I don’t have my back-ups in Dropbox.

Can someone tell me how when you are using 2 computers - 1 laptop and 1 desktop how you make one the masterfile, so that you can use the laptop and then when you come home update the masterfile. So you dont inadvertently loose information on the chnage over. sandy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
