	If you download your tree onto your PC then this is a copy, your original tree remains. I use the free PAF and find it adequate for my purposes.

Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 126 Send Message	I'm trying to backup my GR family tree as I have already lost some marriage and death info with the new tree version. Im a newbie so don't know which is the best programme to use. I understand that a gedcom file is needed to download the tree. Having read threads on this quite a few people have used Legacy Family Tree. The only problem is when I try to download Legacy standard version this causes my pc to freeze and crash, 3rd time now and am bit reluctant to use this. I am desperate to back up my tree, can anyone recommend another software to download.
