Backups

=======

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".
