I have been sharing my family tree with other family members so that they can edit it but I am worried that they could easily click on my account then remove my tree or make a mess of it. Is there anyway for me to retrieve my tree if someone loses it? I have spent so much time on it...

I know I can print it but I was wondering if I can have a 'master copy' online that noone can edit...?

You can download a copy of the tree. When your on your family tree its at the very bottom on the left. It says Download/export this family. There are five opitions you can choice.

If you choose GEDCOM or FamilyScript, you can also import it back into Family Echo to save as a backup that no-one has permission to edit.
