Manual backup

Run a manual backup to export an encrypted file of your Olvid profiles backup to your device.

You will be able to transfer it safely by any non-secure means (email, cloud…) and from iOS to Android and vice versa.

Make sure that you always have the latest version of Olvid.

If you change OS (iOS <-> Android):
- Perform a manual backup because automatic backup will not work.
- Otherwise, enable automatic backup instead to sleep easy 😴.
Please, read the warnings about the backup.

How to start?

First, generate your backup key. Then…

iOS

Tap > Backup settings .
Tap backup and share now.
The standard iOS sharing screen appears and allows you to choose where to save the backup file (with .olvidbackup extension).

Android

Tap > Backup settings.
Tap Initiate a manual backup.
Choose where to save the backup file (with .olvidbackup extension).

What’s next?

You can verify your backup.
