Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! I have followed them, and now have my backups in OneDrive.

Here is an answer to basic backup. 1. In Legacy, go to File >Backup File 2. At bottom right, Click HELP >Show Help Topic. or watch a video. This HELP completely talks about backups and the Legacy Cloud backup in 5 steps. OneDrive Backup 1. In Legacy, go to File >Backup File 2. Select Backup to My Computer (Family File & Media Files) 3. Click CHANGE to far right of Family File 4. A windows file manger will open and you can then locate your OneDrive folder (e.g: \OneDrive\Legacy Backups\ ) and save the Legacy Backupup files in that folder. If you also have the Media Files selected for backup, Legacy asks if you want to change the Media backup location to the same as Family File and the answer would be YES. Note: I would suggest you create the \OneDrive\Legacy Backups\ folder before starting steps 1-4 above - see step 3 below. Questions about OneDrive: 1. Do I have OneDrive on my system? A. Yes, If you have Windows 8.1 or 10, it was automatically installed B. Yes, if you have Office 360 installed 2. How can I see if OneDrive is installed? A. You can use the Windows File manager (the yellow folder icon at bottom in task bar) - Click on it, you should see in the left side window a folder called OneDrive and maybe a few subfolders if you have created any. 3. How do I create a new subfolder under OneDrive called: \OneDrive\Legacy Backups\ ? A. You can use the Windows File manager (the yellow folder icon at bottom in task bar) - Click on it, you should see in the left side window a folder called OneDrive B. Right Click on OneDrive >New >Folder C. Type the new folder name as: Legacy Backup D. Hit return. You should see the new folder under OneDrive in your screen on left side. 4. What if I don't have a OneDrive Subfolder or OneDrive is not installed? A. You will need to download OneDrive from Microsoft and create an account. B.

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).
