 It is extremely important to keep backups of your data, and keep them in a safe place. GRAMPS has a specific portable file format which is small, and human readable, denoted by <code>.gramps</code>. If you have allowed this in the preferences (In <tt>Edit menu->Preferences->General</tt>), GRAMPS will keep a backup of your database on exit. You can copy this backup file from time to time to a save location (eg a usb stick).
-[Note: The .gramps files are compressed. Clicking them will open GRAMPS. To see the XML select them and open them with a decompressing utility (like ark, gunzip), after which you can extract the XML file which is human readable]

 '''Do not keep backups in GEDCOM'''. Not all information GRAMPS stores can be written in the GEDCOM. Hence, an export/import operation GRAMPS --> GEDCOM --> GRAMPS, will mean you '''lose''' data. Use the <code>.gramps</code> file format for backups!

 ===Does it work with Windows?===
-The [[Linux Genealogy CD]] can function as a live CD that you boot directly from. You can then use Linux and GRAMPS while it runs both off the CD, even if your computer is entirely Windows.

 An '''experimental''' [[Windows installer]] is available, however we do not have the manpower to offer support for Windows. A [[Contact|windows mailing list]] is available however and we do do our best to solve windows related problems.
