I once had a pay as you go account with findmypast now expired. I started a tree a good few years ago and was surprised to find that my records and tree are still there and my account is classed as a "free account" I just need to start paying again to look at records but the tree is accesible as are previous paid for records. So it seems after your money expires on FMP the account stays.
Daughter started adding to the tree from other sources and it crossed my mind about backing up. It is possible to download FMP tree as a gedcom file which I do as a backup.
Last week I did some research on free accounts and downloaded Gramps. It imported the gedcom file ok but its awful to use, not as slick as the paid sites but at least I now have a backup!
I will continue the FMP tree and periodically do a backup for insurance.
