Feedback from a beginner I helped

People expect to start a family tree and the icons actual wording the on tool tip is "Manage databases" which is never mentioned on the page here! This was pointed out when I introduced a friend to Gramps last week, initially caused a bit of confusion when you tell a beginner to click on the family tree icon and they expect the tooltip to match! --Daleathan (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out and adding screenshots etc, basically at sometime in the past (about 2010) Gramps 3.x it was decided to start calling databases the more user friendly "Family Trees" and not everything eg tooltips have been updated to reflect that , so some improvement can be made. Can you please raise an issue? --Sam888 (talk) 01:06, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Backup methods

In the backup section, it states that export is the safest method. How is this better than a manual or automatic backup? If the backup methods are not as good as an export in some way, perhaps the backup method should be improved? --Peterhewett (talk) 20:17, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
