Try phoning Ancestry, explain the problem, and they may be able to let you download online and then just use your backup usb to restore file. They will have your details if you registered with them.

What software will you be exporting the gedcom file into?

Some of them will read the FTM file!

E.G. I use RootsMagic4 - which will import FTM files (2006 and earlier).
So it is worth checking the import capabilities of your software.



Alternatively, download FTM 2012 - it's Free!! ;D ;D
