Home - Local backups

In Password Depot, you can open and save backup files. If a file got corrupted or was deleted by mistake, you can open a backup file of the database. To do so, please open the Home screen (Home → Backups) and click on the tab Local backup. The following options are available:

  • Open: Opens a database selected in the list. Select the database from the list and and click on Open.
  • New database: Enables you to create a new database on your local system. A detailed description of this process is provided here.
  • Delete database: Deletes a selected database from the list.
  • Back: If you changed folders in the browser, with this button, you can jump back to the previous folder.
  • Forward: If you jumped back/changed a folder previously, with this button, you can jump forward again.
  • Level up: Changes over to the next higher-order folder/directory.
  • Refresh: Refreshes the list of databases on your local system, e.g., after you have made changes to the files.
  • Filter: Filter the current overview of your databases as desired. The following filters are available: Password Depot databases (*.pswe), All Password Depot databases (*.pswe, *.pswd), Old files (*.pswx, *.psw8, *.psw7, *.psw6, *.psw), and Backups (*.bckd, *.bck, *.bckx). The Backups filter is set by default under Local Backups.
  • Search: Allows you to search the local system for a specific database and then to load it.

HINT: Once you have opened a backup file, you should save it again in its original format by clicking on Database → Save as (Shift + Ctrl + S).
