Should your Family Tree become damaged or corrupted in some way, GRAMPS' Gramps Family Tree Manager will display a red Error icon in the {{man label|Status}} column.

To tell GRAMPS to have Gramps attempt to repair the damage, select the Family Tree and then click the {{man button|Repair}} button.

This will attempt to rebuild your tree Family Tree from the backup files that are automatically created on exit. {{-}}
