Re: [LegacyUG] Procedure for installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

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.

This HELP completely talks about backups and the Legacy Cloud backup

*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

     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

     A.  You will need to download OneDrive from Microsoft and create 
an account.

Re: [LegacyUG] Procedure for installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?

[Cheryl Rothwell]

I keep my media files wherever they are and copy the ones I want to use to
Legacy. Just an extra precaution.

I backup to One Drive separately from the backup tab. On the Backup to My
Computer check Media and Change to wherever you want, in my case
OneDrive\Legacy. That's simple so I suspect I missed something in your
question. In my case the local copy of OneDrive also gets backed up in my
backup program so that's an extra copy for insurance.

Re: [LegacyUG] Procedure for installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

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!

As I recall, the major complication is that you cannot copy a folder

It is complicated, so I will let someone more knowledgeable detail the

I don't understand the question. Do you want to backup up a restore

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

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?

Dropbox (another ‘cloud’ location).

Re: [LegacyUG] Procedure for installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?

[CE WOOD]

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?

[LegacyUG] Procedure for installing and using OneDrive to backup my Legacy media files?

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

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.
