Before you upgrade
Before you upgrade, make sure your family tree data is secure. The best way to do this is:
- Start Gramps 3.3
- Open your family tree
- Export the family tree to the gramps xml format or the gramps xml package format (which includes your photographs and other media files associated with your family tree data). Export your tree via menu Family Trees->Export, making sure you export all data with no filters applied.
- Close this family tree and repeat the above steps for any other family trees you have
- Keep the resulting file(s) in a safe place
For more information, please review Backing up a Family Tree.
After properly safeguarding your data, proceed to install Gramps 3.4. Use your operating system's regular installation process to do this. It is also best to uninstall Gramps 3.3 before installing Gramps 3.4, or make sure you install Gramps 3.4 in a different location.
After you install Gramps 3.4, you can open your existing family trees and continue working. In case of problems (e.g., after a complete system upgrade), use the backup file(s) created above to recreate your family tree(s).
