Registering to the services of County usually takes a few minutes, but what happens next depends on the situation. If you are moving from another software, just import the data there from.

Losing your data due to server failure is virtually impossible. County have multiple servers running at the same time, therefore if one of them goes down another one takes its place. Moreover, these servers are often placed at different physical locations, so if a natural disaster destroys an area that hosts a server farm, the other one will still be safe at a different place. Remember: you lose data if you, and only you, delete it.
