This might sound stupid but I have forgotten how to back-up my tree onto an external hard drive so that I keep any photographs. The back-up that I have has lost all the photographs. Stuart Baker

Stuart, If you are using FH V4 Projects, with all the photos in the Project Media folder, then backup the entire Family Historian Projects folder. This is one of the many benefits of using Projects because it makes backup easier. Just backing up the GEDCOM .ged file does not include linked media files such as photos. If you are using FH V3 style standalone GEDCOM then you must backup the folders where your photos are stored as well as the .ged file. Some users utilise Internet cloud on-line synch/backup tools such as Dropbox. You may not be aware of the Family Historian User Group (FHUG) at http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi It is a free voluntary FH User Group - just register free under the Login section. There are Q & A Forums, a wealth of information in the Knowledge Base, and free Downloads such as Ancestral Sources for Census & Baptism data capture.
