There have been many discussions about Dropbox and Onedrive. Another option, if you do not wish to be tied to Internet access, is to keep your ‘live’ family files and a copy of your media on a USB thumb drive. Physically carry it to the preferred computer of the day. Ensure that backups go to a computer drive, not back to the USB drive. Ward From: Norman Weston Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2015 6:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Cloud for backups etc After several years away from family history I have returned to it to see if there is anything new to discover. After a few computer hard drive deaths over the years, I am so glad that I had backed up both my family file and media to my dropbox account. I live part of the year in one country and part in another and I have my Legacy Family Tree on several computers. At present if I make some changes on one computer I would need to backup my file plus its media and restore them on the other to keep it current. If I fail to do this each and every time I make changes, I could overwrite something I had changed previously! So my question is, has anyone ever mentioned or thought about any sort of Legacy auto backup facility to cloud in order that nothing is ever lost? Apologies if this has been discussed before, I am not sure how to search the past topics.
