I use Dropbox for my backup. I will install Legacy and point the default folders to my Dropbox Folders.
Examples: C:\YourUserName\Dropbox\Family\Data C:\YourUserName\Dropbox\Family\Docs C:\YourUserName\Dropbox\Family\Pics C:\YourUserName\Dropbox\Family\Videos When I set up Legacy to use these folders it will sync my Family File and Backups between my two computers. By the way Dropbox gives you 2GB for free which should be enough for the average user. On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 6:58 PM, William S.
