Backing Up Your Files

Organising Your Research

Family Historian spend considerable time researching their ancestry, collecting vital records and building family trees. Backing up your research is an important step in preserving your family tree research.

If possible follow the 3-2-1 rule. Three copies: two stored on different storage devices, and one copy located off-site.
