LOCATION OF THE BACKUP COPY
Before saving any changes to your personal data, Password Manager automatically makes backup copies of the
Password Database. This avoids any losses of data in the event of system or technical failure. Password Manager
creates a complete copy of the Password Database before implementing the changes. If the Password Database is
damaged, you can restore data from the most recent backup copy of the Password Database (see page 188).
You can use different media to store the backup copy of your Password Database: local disk, removable disk, or network
drive.
By default, depending on the operating system, the backup copy is saved with the following path:
Microsoft Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\;
Microsoft Windows Vista: C:\Users\User_name\Documents\Passwords Database\;
Microsoft Windows 7: C:\Users\User_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\.
To change the path of the backup file, please do the following:
1. Open the main application window.
