JL, No, I have not been using the backup feature from Legacy since I've started using Mozy. I used to put the backups each night onto a flash drive with the date in the title. I probably should go back to doing that as well as Mozy just to have extra protection. Art, Thanks for your

Mary, This is basically the problem which I referred to last night - ie that not all browsers read 1252 correctly. Some interpret it as unicode and others as Western European 1089, and maybe other codings. This obviously affects ISP hosts as well. There is little that one can do about it,

Jennifer, Yes, you really should. As you said Mozy was your *extra* back-up, you are now back to having only one. So, if Mozy goes down or shuts down you have no back-up. I use the Legacy back-up at least once pere day, USB stick once per week and MSN Sky Drive once per month. Ron

[LegacyUG] Order of event details in Ancestor Book Report

Does anyone know if it's possible to re-arrange the order that event details appear in the Ancestor Book Report? For example, when I enter an address in 'residence', I put the house and street names in the details box, then the date, then the town and country, but I'd like it to print out

Hi Ron,there may be some who would say that SkyDrive is off topic, but there has been loads of discussion of other forms of backing up our Legacy files, USBs, disks, external drives, etc. I think that this is a topic that should be discussed on-list. I have SkyDrive but had never used it until

Leo, I'm not so sure about that. One of the things to keep in mind is not only the file size, but related to it is the time it takes to upload onto the site. Pam's back-up was 44MB and she tells me it took 20 minutes to upload to Sky Drive. For those who don't know, uploading takes an awful
