===How do I keep backups?===
Automatic backup is a default feature that protects your genealogical data in Gramps. (It became automated in 2018 with the release of the 6.0 version.) The interval, backup file path and option to backup when exiting Gramps settings are in the {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree|Family Tree]]}} tab of the {{man menu|Edit -> Preferences...}} menu. Additionally, a backup can be manually selected from the {{man menu|Family Trees > Make Backup...}} window.
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>. See the "[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Backing_up_a_Family_Tree|backup up a Family Tree]]" section of the manual. It is also important to be aware of [[Template:Backup_Omissions|what is omitted from a Gramps backup]].
You can copy this backup file from time to time to a safe location (e.g., a USB stick).
Gramps does a quick hidden binary backup to allow restore if an error is noted. If the correct package is installed, you can use a revision system.
Another method is to backup the ''<code>/.gramps</code>'' hidden directory. This subdirectory is situated in your [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory|User Directory]]. Backing up this directory will backup your databases and revisions. (On Windows 10 it is ''<code>/Users/<your username>/AppData/Roaming/gramps</code>'')
'''Do not keep backups in GEDCOM format'''. Not all information Gramps stores can be written in the GEDCOM. Hence, an export/import operation from Gramps exported into GEDCOM and re-imported into Gramps, will mean you '''lose''' [[Gramps_and_GEDCOM|data]]. Use the <code>.gramps</code> file format for backups!
===Can I change the dates in reports to 'day month year'?===
Yes, in the preferences ({{man menu|Edit -> Preferences}} {{man label|[[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]]}} tab) change the {{man label|Date format:}} setting for Gramps to the required format (eg YYYY-MM-DD or day month year), and make the report. Your global date preferences will be used.

===What standards does Gramps support?===
===What is the maximum database size (bytes) Gramps can handle?===
Gramps has no hard limits on the size of a database that it can handle. Starting with 2.0.0 release, Gramps no longer loads all data into memory, which allows it to work with a much larger database than before. In reality, however, there are practical limits. The main limiting factors are the available memory on the system and the cache size used for BSDDB database access. With common memory sizes these days, Gramps should have no problem using databases with [[Gramps_Performance#JohnBoyTheGreat_2019-12.2C_version_52C_version_6.20.1|Millions of people]].
===How many people can Gramps database handle? ===
===How do I change the order of children?===
Children can be moved in the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Detailed_-_part_1#Editing_information_about_relationships|Family Editor]]'s [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Children|Children]] tab by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-and-drop dragging and dropping] or using the {{man button|up}} and {{man button|down}} buttons.
===How do I change the order of spouses?===
Spouses can be reordered from the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Reorder_Relationships_dialog|Relationships Category]] by selecting the {{man button|Reorder}} button in the toolbar.
===How do I add an additional spouse?===
===How do you add photos to an item?===
See [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_brief#Adding_photos_and_other_media_objects|Adding photos and other media objects]].
===How do you find unused media?===
Media that have not been associated with any objects may be found by creating a [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Custom_Filters|Custom Filter]] in the Media Category view. Use the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Media_objects_with_a_reference_count_of_.3Ccount.3E|Media objects with a reference count of <count>]] rule to find media with fewer than 1 reference.
===How can I publish a genealogy web site with Gramps?===
Gramps has multiple options in the Reports menu for creating Web Pages based on your Tree data.
The [[Howto:_Make_a_genealogy_website_with_Gramps|Howto: Make a genealogy website with Gramps]] tutorial describes using the [[Gramps_5Gramps_6.2_Wiki_Manual_0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_7#Narrated_Web_Site|Narrated Web Site]] (a.k.a. NarrativeWeb) report. In it, you will learn to generate a website around a set of people in your Family Tree.
Once generated, you can upload the web files to a hosting service. You can also distribute them on a portable thumbdrive or other media.

You can also install third party addon reports to create other styles of web content. See the [[56.2_Addons0_Addons#Addon_List|Addons List]].
