Re: [LegacyUG] What is the value of a Legacy backup?

[Heather Stovold]

The point of making backups....

 

Computers are not perfect.  A virus can erase your data in any program (or the programs too).  Your operating system could crash requiring you to reinstall, and maybe format the harddrive.  Your harddrive could stop working.

 

And - why I advise people to keep a backup somewhere else (bank box, or someones house...) - you could have a house fire or other disaster.

 

Heck, I even keep a backup in another province incase of a larger scale disaster!

Trusting the validity of the ancient axiom that "the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked" I venture the following:

What is the value of a Legacy backup? I understand the value of a backup of information that is not on the same computer, but I don't understand its value when on the same computer. Consequently, I have never used the Legacy backup feature. I have sometimes made CD backups of my data, but have often been haunted by the thought that everyone else is making "Legacy backups", but I am not, because I don't see the value of doing so. Please edumacate me.
