Data Backup/ Restore

Padmin lets you save (export) an existing database, that is, the data added to PassMan, or load (import) one. You find these operations in the Data backup/restore menu.

The order of the steps is:

1. Database backup - the current database is saved, so that it can be exported in the next step.
2. Database export - the database to export appears in the list as an available option. You must also set an encryption password for it. When the run succeeds, you can save the database to your computer.
3. Database import - load the import file from your computer, and give the encryption password to unlock the file. If it runs correctly, the imported file name appears among the databases you can restore.
4. Database restore - here you can choose from the database backups you created with the backup, or through an import. After the restore, your database switches to that one. If the database had other sign-in data in the system, you must use those the next time. After a database restore, you must also open the vault again.

On this build, backup and export are the Data backup/export item, and import and restore are the Data restore/import item.

Deleting a backup

Select Delete backup if you no longer need a saved database.
