Leon,
Thank you. Looks like I have it working. Decided to backup both the data
and media files to OneDrive. Have the OneDrive folder at d:\OneDrive
with a Legacy Backup subfolder. Saw the option to move the folder
location during the OneDrive install. Missed that in the past.
I will alternate backups to my external drives and to 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. Here is the link to do that:

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?

Can someone find a detailed, step by step, procedure for
installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?
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).
