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.
