PS using specialised software it is also possible to create an emergency back up of everything on your computers hard drive (programs and data) for the ultimate emergency recovery.
What specialised software would this be as I would like in the near future to possibly back up a family history program. Would this be the answer to my original question -
When you say "back it up" do you mean the program or the information that you have loaded through the program. I ask because years ago I wondered about this, if I lost my family history program disc or it was damaged and I could no longer use it (would not be able to see my family tree).
I asked (not Rootschat) it there was any way that this disc could be copied, but I don't think there was an answer, meaning probably it wasn't possible
