I think he wants to be able to access his media files from OneDrive. If so, they would need to be uploaded to OneDrive. They would still remain on his computer, but would be synced to the ones on OneDrive. He could then access any of his media files from either his computer or from OneDrive.
As I recall, the major complication is that you cannot copy a folder with its subfolders to OneDrive. It is complicated, so I will let someone more knowledgeable detail the procedure.

I don't understand the question. Do you want to backup up a restore file that includes the media files inside the legacy file so that when you restore it the media files are included? If so that is what I would like to know. But - - - - would this be creating the same type of backup as you get when you back up to the Legacy cloud WITHOUT the media files? Or would you be backing up a gedcom file to onedrive. So let me rephrase: Can you and if so how do you: 1. Backup your legacy files so that all the media files are included. 2. How would you restore that backup from onedrive instead of from the legacy cloud and is this possible? Roxanne On Sat, Sep 30, 2017 at 8:10 AM, J.M.

That means leaving the media files where they are, not putting them in OneDrive. No extra words, just "Step 1, Step 2", etc. Jay Ingalls On 9/29/2017 4:14 PM, Ian Thomas wrote: Millennia (Legacy) would have omitted backup of media files because they are large, and some users may have hundreds of Mb up to GB of storage requirements for their media files. But everyone has Windows – any version has the free gift from Microsoft of OneDrive – which is a more than adequate amount of cloud storage. While it does require a step-by-step ‘recipe’ for users to set the Legacy FT backup location to other than the defaults, over the past year I have seen instructions here on how to change to the location of choice for any individual. That has included Dropbox (another ‘cloud’ location).
