Freedom® lets you create backup files that can be restored if you ever have a problem with your computer. You can also use the backup file to "move" your nyms to a different computer.
Tip: It is a good idea to create a backup file after each nym transaction. If you create a new nym, extend the life of a nym, or delete a nym, creating a new backup file ensures that you have the most current "snapshot" of your nyms. You should always have two copies your backup files: one copy on your hard disk and another copy on a floppy disk (to protect against file loss if your hard disk fails). Because floppy disks can be lost or damaged, you might want to save copies of your backup files on more than one disk.
IMPORTANT: Backup files are encrypted using the current passphrase.
To create a backup file of your nyms:
1.Open the Preferences dialog box.
2.Click Backup.
3.Type the location where you want to save the backup file in the Destination directory text box. You can also click the Browse button to search for the desired path.
4.Click Create Backup.
The backup file is created in the specified location.
