'''Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.'''
Gramps is a free software project and community. We strive to produce a genealogy program that is both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists. It is a community project, created, developed and governed by genealogists.{{-}}{{man note|{{Man menu|Gramps '''Current version: '''{{version}}''' Released: '''2024{{version-04-06released}}'''}}|For a list of updates see: ''[[Gramps 56.2 0 Wiki Manual - What's new?|What's new?]]}}

<span id="1">Backup to '''Gramps XML''' format when updating. ''Although Gramps reads and writes '''GEDCOM 5.5.1''' format fluently (because it is the de facto format for genealogical data interchange), never depend on such a rudimentary format for archiving your research. GEDCOM cannot store all the intricacies found in Gramps data.'' Always backup with the more robust Gramps XML format.</span>

You will find a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Backing_up_a_Family_Tree|{{Man menu|Make Backup...}}]] option in the {{Man menu|Family Trees}} menu of recent Gramps versions. Alternately, use [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Exporting_data|{{Man menu|Export...}}]] in the same menu but deselect the privacy and filtering options in the Exporter Assistant to avoid omission of any data.
