Just a quick word of warning to make sure you get the .
hidden files and folders (which I think was already given but bears
repeating): because these aren't normally displayed selecting
everything you see in you're home folder and copying it to somewhere
else will not get these. 

You can either display hidden files (View->Show hidden files) and then
copy everything displayed or step up a level in the directory
hierarchy (to home/) and then copy the folder for your user.

Thanks Rob,
I think your bits about backing up /home is something I've already done 
- thnaks for the confirmation!

I'll try your suggestions about GRAMPS a.s.a.p. and report back.

Thanks again for your (and others) help.

Greg
