RootsMagic stores the information you enter in a database (or file). RootsMagic provides the following commands for working with databases.
- Creating a new database
- Opening an existing database
- Working with multiple databases
- Dragging and dropping people
- Move or Rename a database
- Deleting a database
- Copying a database
- Database tools
- Backing up a database
- Restoring a back up
- Database properties
- Saving a database to Dropbox (for Apps)
- Comparing databases
- Importing lists
- Importing data
- Exporting data
When you exit RootsMagic, you are prompted to backup the current database. However, if you close a database from within RootsMagic, the program does not automatically backup the database before closing it. Therefore, before you close a database from within RootsMagic, you must do the backup yourself by selecting "File, Backup" from the main menu, if you want to create a backup (and you should!)
