To export to another Family Echo account, do the following:

  1. On the family you want to back up, click on 'Download/export this family'.
  2. Select 'FamilyScript'.
  3. Click 'Download'.
  4. Save the file which downloads (I recommend in 'My Documents' or equivalent'). Make sure you give it a name you can easily recognise.
  5. Go to the account you want to export the tree to.
  6. Go to 'My Account', and click on 'Create or import new family'.
  7. Click on 'Import GEDCOM or FamilyScript'.
  8. Click 'Browse' and find the tree's file where you saved it.
  9. Click 'Import', and then 'Finish Import'.
  10. Save the tree on the new account (use the normal 'Save' button).
  11. You should then be able to use the tree as normal.

Note that you can also export using GEDCOM, but I think it might be a bit trickier.

I hope this helps!
