One of my daughters lives in the fire prone Dandenong's and on days of Total Fire Ban she forwards her business files to my email, hence having a complete backup. Because some on this list are also fire prone I was wondering if we could set up a system whereby they forward their Family Tree to one person, i.e. everyone has a predetermined receiver of this valuable information and no one has more than one persons file. If the sender were to loose their information it can be recovered via forwarding it to the lister once they are in a position to receive it back. Obviously the receiver does not open the file, they act like a bank. Any thoughts, regards, Zola

Great Idea. I'm willing to help out also.
