After a last sync (if you sync your tree files), we recommend compacting them (Tools>Compact File) and then manually backing up (File>Backup, making sure the Media and Sync boxes are checked).

SECURITY: New in this build is the ability to add password-protection to the tree files you export.(Even if you’ve already updated to a previous edition of FTM 2014.1 or Mac 3.1).
