Backup Create

There are 2 options for backing up your Embassy and service data:
Backing up your Embassy is easy and secure. Backups are encrypted with your master password.
1. Use a Shared Network Folder (recommended) on another device that connected to the same network as your Embassy, such as a laptop/desktop or external drive that is plugged into your laptop/desktop.
2. Use a physical drive, which must be externally powered or plugged into a powered USB hub.

Physical Backups
----------------
Backup Using a Physical Drive
-----------------------------
You may use a drive by attaching to Embassy directly if you prefer. The recommended format at this time is ``exFAT``.
.. tip:: You can backup to a physical drive using the recommended method above, rather than plugging the drive directly into the Embassy, which can cause problems.
.. caution:: If using the Raspberry Pi, you MUST use external power to attach a physical drive in order to prevent any data corruption due to power constraints.
#. First, go to ``Embassy`` -> ``Create Backup``
#. Ensure your backup drive is properly formatted. The recommended format at this time is ``exFAT``. **Do not** use ``fat32``.
#. If your drive is self-powered, you can plug it directly into your Embassy blue USB 3.0 slot. If not, first plug the drive into a powered USB hub, then plug the hub into your Embassy. Then you may power it up.
#. Go to *Embassy > Create Backup*

#. Press ``Refresh`` in the top-right corner, and select your drive when it appears.
