Obviously you also want to make backups in some way that is not part of your computer and also that can be stored remotely in some manner.
I backup EVERY time I exit Legacy; but then, my main file is on a USB drive and I backup to my desktop computer's hard drive as well as to my laptop computer's hard drive (depending on which I am currently using. So if I were to lose the entire hard drive of one of my computers AND the USB drive as well, I will still have a backup on the other compter's hard drive. That will not help if I had a house fire. That is why I need a remote backup as well. I do this by sending my file to several family members.
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.
