It will depend on in what form your tree is backed up. If it is as a file on your device do the following:

  1. Go to the account you want to export the tree to.
  2. Go to 'My Account', and click on 'Create or import new family'.
  3. Click on 'Import GEDCOM or FamilyScript'.
  4. Click 'Browse' and find the tree's file  in your documents where it is saved.
  5. Click 'Import', and then 'Finish Import'.
  6. Save the tree on the new account (use the normal 'Save' button).
  7. You should then be able to use the tree as normal.

If the tree is on a USB stick or similar, download it first and then follow the above steps.

Hope this helps!
