I have 2 thumb drives, a desktop (Windows XP) and a laptop (Windows 7) I am a total scatter brain, or do they call that ADD now? I have so many family files on my thumbdrives I now date the file so I know it was the last time I back it up.
Should I back it up as a gedcom or legacy file etc? Something like that?
