the flash drive gets corrupt or I loose the flash drive.
That would be one of my main concerns: losing the flash drive and having that info fall in the wrong hands. Do you encrypt the data on the flash drive and does that not affect the speed of use?

Hi Diane, I agree with 1 & 4 but not 2 or 3. I have not followed all the replies so there may be good reason, but can't see the reason for the GEDCOM. I personally disagree with 3. I keep my working Legacy data file on my flash drive, together with all my multimedia, which I use directly from the flash drive. I back up both data and multimedia as zip files (Legacy asks if you want this to happen when you close the programme) on one or all of the computers I use. That way I don't have to do any restore every time I swap computers. The only time I use the zipped back up files is if the data on the flash drive gets corrupt or I loose the flash drive. In this case I go to the computer I used last and unzip. Fortunately I have never has to do this. Best of luck, Happy New Year, when it comes! David S Brookes Polesworth N. Warks.

Well Thank you for all of the answers that I have received about flash drives. Now for the final questions hopefully. 1 I understand that I should download Legacy to this flash drive. 2 Do a gedcom of my info onto this drive. 3 When I enter info on one computer do a backup to the flash drive then do a restore onto the other computer. 4 get at least a 2g drive, and maybe put on family file on each drive. Do this seem to sum it up? You have all been very helpful. Thank you Diane *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!
