Legacy's backup procedure saves two separate "zip"=compressed files,
data and media. When doing a "restore", both files are needed.
The zipped data file can be saved to the Legacy cloud and to the same
hard drive as the program is on, or to an external drive.
The zipped media file can NOT be saved to the Legacy cloud. It can be
saved to the same hard drive as the program is on, or to an external drive.
I want to be able to save the backup zip file of Legacy Media files at
OneDrive. To use if my computer dies, etc. Then would install Legacy to
the new computer, copy the media zip file from OneDrive to the new
computer, unzip it, and add the media files to the Legacy media folder.
I can get the "data" files from the Legacy cloud backup.
I already save a copy of photo files to Google Drive for free. Not the
highest resolution, but should be OK if needed. I also backup the Legacy
zip files of data and media to two external hard drives. But, if all the
files in our house are lost in a fire or tornado, the data base could be
re-created from the cloud files.
Gedcom files can also be made to save our data, but will not save media.
Any Legacy update could destroy our existing Legacy data...
I only use my Legacy data on my home computer. Do not want to access it
any other way!
Hope this is correct and makes sense to everyone.
I just need help with the OneDrive install and setup as previously
indicated. My old brain can not seem to follow the instructions I have
found so far!

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?

That means leaving the media files where they are, not putting
them in OneDrive. No extra words, just "Step 1, Step 2", etc.

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).
