Backing up your vaults

To properly back up a vault, you back up the .vault file that is
associated with it. Even though vaults appear below the
Documents folder, the files themselves are not stored there.
Each vault and its contents are stored in a single vault which is
really just a secure file. The name of the file is "Vault
Name.vault".
The .vault files are physically stored within your Windows user
profile. For example, Windows XP stores the vaults under
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Application Data\McAfee Anti
stores them under
C:\users\<username>\AppData\local\McAfee Anti Theft.
