Backup and Restore
It is a good practice to backup your Security Manager data on a regular basis. How often you back it
up depends on how often the data changes. For instance, if you regularly add new logons on a daily
basis, you should probably back up your data daily.
Backups can also be used to migrate from one computer to another, also sometimes called importing
and exporting. Remember though, that only the data is backed up by this feature.
If you restore the backup file to another computer, or to the same computer after reinstalling the
operating system, the system must have HP ProtectTools Security Manager already installed before
restoring the data from the backup file.
Backing up your data
When you back up your data, you are saving your logons and credential information to an encrypted
file, protected by a password that you enter.
To back up your data:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, click HP, and then click HP ProtectTools Security Manager.
2. In the Security Manager left pane, click Advanced, and then click Backup and Restore.
3. Click Back up data.
4. Select the modules that you want to include in the backup. In most cases, you will want to select
them all. Click Next.
