I must have had both my PC and laptop open on Legacy files at the same time, as I've discovered some "Conflicted files" on the laptop. I don't know what the repercussions are to that...I just moved on & deleted the oldest backups. I do keep all my photos and PDFs that are genealogy-related on Dropbox, too, as well as my media files from Legacy. I consider it insurance against hard drive crashes or house fire!
