Re: [LegacyUG] 2024 webinar schedule
Hi Jenny, I think the point being made is that the Legacy Webinars Google calendar has not been updated to reflect the 2024 presentations. There's only 3 currently listed for all of January. I suspect Geoff or Marian are the people that update this calendar. It's very handy to just copy the meetings I register for to my own Google calendar directly from the Legacy calendar.

Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports
I too have become disenchanted with Legacy Family Tree. One of the main reasons I switched to it was to get hints from MyHeritage. I keep seeing lots of complaints about the hinting mechanism not working or being down. I was also impressed with all of Legacy's features that aren't in the other programs. However, I don't utilize Legacy to its full capabilities. It's a bit complicated to remember all the bells and whistles for the casual user. Now that RootsMagic 8 has been released and gives hints from the three major sites (Ancestry, FamilySearch, and MyHeritage) I am going to switch to it. I hear Legacy 10 is under development but there has been no official announcement. It will likely be more than a year before it is available. I will give Legacy another look when version 10 is released.Robin Original message From: Larry Lachance Date: 1/28/22 7:52 AM (GMT-08:00) To: 'Legacy User Group' Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Parents of Spouses and children in reports I am going to chime in here! I have my own website with a page devoted to recommending Legacy Family Tree based on the commendable merits of the software. After waiting for so long for this “bug” to be fixed, as well as other issues, I too must consider a change. Seems like since MyHeritage took over, they don’t care as much as before. It’s too bad because the company risks losing more consumers as time passes. I am hoping that MyHeritage is not following in the footsteps of Ancestry and Family Tree Maker where the ultimate goal was to bring everybody’s database “online”. Many simply don’t want to do that.

I believe we waited patiently enough for the error to be corrected. It's now almost a half a year that we have to live with it, and it's time to fix it. If Legacy has no intention of fixing errors anymore to Version 9, please have the decency to let us know, so that we can look around and see if other programs are more suitable to our needs. I for my part might just have to do that, although I really don't want to do that. And if I could get the version before this bug was introduced, I would use it, but unfortunately I updated all my computers to release 9.0.0.393.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Cloud
Gloria, et al: I used Carbonite for many years. Their customer service and support is great and easy to reach. They were a great help when I needed to migrate my data to a new computer. One of the things that attracted me to Carbonite was the continual backup as I worked on documents. Over time, it seemed their practice changed and my modified computer files were not getting backed up immediately. I contacted Support to ask about this and was told that backups were done once every 24 hours. Since I don't leave my computer on overnight, I was manually telling Carbonite to back up files I modified before shutting down the computer. Additionally, Carbonite does not automatically back up video files (MP4). You must individually select each one and add it to your backup. Carbonite also discontinued their feature of allowing mobile devices (phones and tablets) to be backed up as part of a subscription. Finally, Carbonite requires a separate subscription for each computer you want to back up. For these reasons, I switched to iDrive https://www.idrive.com/ two years ago. They offer 5 terabytes of backup storage for $69.95/year and unlimited devices, including mobile devices. They currently have a special offer of just $6.95 for your first year of service. Their service offers continual or scheduled backup, as well as many of the same things Carbonite offers. I have a desktop computer, two laptops, my tablet, and cell phone being backed up and have only used 5% of my allocated 5 terabytes. FYI, I have no affiliation with iDrive other than being a satisfied customer. I also use Dropbox, but mostly as short-term storage for items I need to access from anywhere or while in-transit awaiting transfer to one of my other computers. You can get an additional 500 MB of free storage at Dropbox for each person you refer and signs up for their own free account. As a result, I now have 8 GB of free storage at Dropbox. Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive (Microsoft) and others of this ilk are not true backup services. They are just cloud storage similar to an external hard drive, but on another company's servers. You must proactively choose to move files to any of those services to keep them backed up. They are similar to what you do if you use an external drive; the difference being your data is stored on another company's servers away from your home. The advantages being that you can access your data from any computer anywhere (which, by the way you can also do with Carbonite, iDrive, Backblaze, etc.) and, if your house burns down, your data is still protected. For this reason, some people use these cloud storage services for their genealogy software program database (Legacy, RootsMagic, Family Tree Maker, etc.), assuming the software supports such a configuration. It is good to have both a traditional cloud backup service like Carbonite, iDrive, Backblaze, etc. in addition to cloud storage. In fact, IT people advocate a 3-2-1 backup plan: * 3 copies of your backups, one copy on your primary computer * 2 backup copies on 2 different media (external hard drive, flash drive, cloud storage, CD, DVD) * 1 backup copy offsite (cloud storage, safe deposit box, someone else's home) * LOCKSS - "Lots of copies keeps stuff safe" They each have their place and purpose in our genealogy work.
