Restoring From a Backup File

There are several reasons to need to restore from backup files. You may have installed Freedom® on a new computer or had file corruption. Whatever the reason, Freedom's Restore Utility resets Freedom to the state it was in when you created the backup files.

IMPORTANT: When restoring from Freedom backup files, you should be aware of the following:

To restore from a backup file of your nyms:

1.Close Freedom.

2.Restore the backup file using the following command (typed on a single line):

cp /[directory where the backup was saved]/nym.backup ~/.freedom/freedom.nym

3.Start Freedom to use the restored nyms.
