I have the bulk of my tree on FTM2006 and back it up from time to time on a memory stick. The instructions on how to do it are easy to follow from FTM programme
Whats IMAC I thought that was an I player ??

O.M.G... more initials. ;-0)

I have not backed up my tree but I did print it out and it was a job and a half.
I really need to do it again as I have so many extras to add.

I have Legacy and just backed it up on a memory stick but i also have it here and on Ancestry and Trible pages also I have paper copies of everything in display folders, so I don't think there's any fears of me loosing it. lol
