Backups FAQ
Yes. Anything in Privary is encrypted. Content of a backup is fully encrypted with AES CTR 256.
- 1.Check that you have enough free storage. At least same amout as size of the backup file.
- 2.Try to import the backup manually:Rename the backupfile and add ".zip" to the filename. You can now open the backupfile with a filemanager or winzip and see the encrypted files. Move the folders
.do_not_delete_1
and.do_not_delete_2
from the backup into the Privary data folder. It is located directly on your storage..privary
You may will be asked to migrate the folder - confirm. Files from the backup are now manually imported to the current vault and will be visible, if the password / PIN matches with the password used to encrypt the files.P.S.: The .privary folder is located on your device storage or sd-card (if activated from the settings). It's in a hidden state. You can make it visible if your file manager app can show hidden files.
Try to repair the backup i.e. with Winrar built-in repair tool.
As content of a backup is always encrypted, your current password will be used. To import a backup with a different password, change your current password from the Privary settings to match that from the backup and retry the import.
