Help! Trying out Family Historian 4..but have a problem

[Church123]

*!  I Believe  !*

That the backup just deals with a GEDCOM format data file - you would need to manually take a copy of the working folder as well - that's the folder thats called the name of your project with an extension .fh_data inside which is a Media and aSettings folder.

The contenets of these fodlers basicaly make up the system.

When your asked to see the backup it's showing you the GEDCOM file and NOT the mediain this folder system - Persoanlly I just backup the whole folder to another drive and be done with it.

Importing and exporting to other programs I've not tried and suspect will be fraught with danger/difficulties !!

Join the forum and ask your questions - Jane is a close to a person who works for the company but will not admit to it that I've seen and I'm sure will help you out.

Regards

PS I'm sure your not stupid

Thanks for that Church123.  I moved the media file onto my laptop and fiddled with it a bit..then got distracted by my kids...came back later and there were pictures there..so maybe it takes longer than an instant!!
although in the show all media bit..I just get white squares and if i double click they are there...
ANYWAY...I do have hope now I can alternate between my computer and laptop..it was so easy in FTM 16..I just exported and it was all there!!
I will keep at it..
