Backing up and restoring your data

It is recommended that you back up 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 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 called importing and exporting.

NOTE: Only Password Manager and Face Recognition information is backed up by this feature.

Drive Encryption has an independent backup method. Device Access Manager and fingerprint authentication information is not backed up.

HP ProtectTools Security Manager must be installed on any computer that is to receive backed up data before the data can be restored from the backup file.

To back up your data:

1.Open the Security Manager User Console. For more information, see Opening Security Manager on page 23.

2.On the left panel of the User Console, 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 select all of the modules.

5.Verify your identity.

6.Enter a name for the storage file. By default, the file is saved to your Documents folder. Click Browse to specify a different location.

7.Enter a password to protect the file.

8.Click Finish.
