Re: [LegacyUG] Using Legacy with USB drive

[Tom Montgomery]

I am sure most know but a memory card (most of us use with digital 
cameras) make fine flash drives. I have a Sony 1GB which I use with a 
very reasonable (less than $10.00) reader. I realize Sony is expensive 
but others are very reasonable and can be used in many ways. If you have 
a digital camera now, just pick up a cheap USB reader for your card and 
you are all set.

<<<Why duplicate your efforts.  Save time and add it directly to your
database when at the FHC by using the method I described.  It works
beautifully.  How big is your database?  How big are your images? You
might want to invest in a larger (512MB or bigger) memory drive.  I
personally have a 1 GB drive.  My database is around 35 MB and my 
images
(thumbnails) are around 100 MB.>>>

Thanks for the suggestions. My flash drive is only 128 MB. My Legacy
backup is 13,000 KB and my database is 55,000 KB. However, my images 
are
over 400 MB (not thumbnails), so a 1 GB flash drive would be necessary
for me to keep it all on the flash drive.
