I test an change on an content center family. it was lucky a copy .. because it did somhow break.. is there a way change an family back if it for some reason break? because if one of my big family break I would be in big problem

I would  suggest to back up the library files daily or in between major changes for this very reasons. Somtimes the table can be corrupted if changes are made on mass. So unless you know how to back track the changes you could have permanent corruption.

how do I backup it up ?

[A.Acheson]

If files are stored on a shared drive or server this could be happening allready. Where do you store your inventor files? 

See link on backup windows folders.

Simply copying the folder and renaming could be enough. Test with a small library to ensure no corruption. Do not rename the library .idcl files manually in windows. This will cause chaos as the family will become broken.

You can rename the idcl file.

Don't add it to Project.

IV use library name in the idcl.  So it'll see same library and complain.

Rename it back before using it.
