Can I put my family tree file on a CD?

In order to put your family tree from Family Tree Builder onto a cd (or any removable media), Please follow the following directions:

First you can use go into your project in Family Tree Builder and click on File > Back up Project. It will save a single file that contains your family tree and all its photos and documents. You can save it to a cd/dvd, or to a usb flash key.

Such a backup can later be restored on family Tree Builder on a different computer, by going into Family Tree Builder on that computer and using File > Restore Project.

Please note- you will not be able to open up this file without having Family Tree Builder installed on the computer that you are using.
