Yes copying my data files takes around the same time too. However in most cases where I'm either adding an event for example there is source documentation which might include a *.pdf or image file that is attached to the source detail. Now copying the source file to the Cloud folder manually may take longer if you're doing a copy. > I do the copy any time I do something in > Legacy that could spell trouble - like a merge, for example. > Writing code to do the backup every time legacy closes is more > involved and beyond my abilities.

However for me to run Legacy data files from a place different than my current Cloud folder, I would want something more suitable than manually copying those files to the cloud folder.
