+
+The Embassy supports encrypted backups of installed services to an external USB drive. Encryption utilizes the master password, so memorization of only one password is necessary.
+
+To begin the backup process:
+
+#. Enter the USB stick provided with the Embassy kit, or any USB drive with enough storage capacity, into a USB port on the device.
+#. Navigate to the `Services` sub menu from the main dashboard menu.
+#. Select the service to be backed-up.
+#. Select the floppy disc icon next to the `Last Backup` menu item. If a backup was never completed, this should say "never".
