Is there a way to share a family without others being able to edit it?

I want to share a family but don't want people to be able to edit it. As far as I can see, anyone with an account can edit a tree that's been shared with them.
If this isn't possible, is there a way to duplicate a family so that I have a backup?

When you share your family tree, there is a checkbox that says whether or not that person can edit the tree.
You can duplicate your family tree by downloading a GEDCOM or FamilyScript file of your tree and then uploading that same file. Then you will have two identical copies. Note that pictures are not exported or imported.

Ah, I should have clarified... I'm sharing via link not email, so that checkbox won't work for me.
Also, thank you for the info on duplication :)
When you uncheck the checkbox, it changes the parameters in the link as well. I believe the link is also changed to not allow editing. But I didn't actually test this.
Thank you very much! :) I checked and it looks like the checkbox works for the link too. Thanks!
