Location of the backup copy

Before saving any changes to your personal data, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically makes backup copies of the Password Database. This avoids any losses of data in the event of system or technical failure. Kaspersky Password Manager creates a complete copy of the Password Database before implementing the changes. If the Password Database is damaged, you can restore data from the most recent backup copy of the Password Database.

You can use different media to store the backup copy of your Password Database: local disk, removable disk, or network drive.

By default, depending on the operating system, the backup copy is saved with the following path:

  • Microsoft Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\;
  • Microsoft Windows Vista: C:\Users\User_name\Documents\Passwords Database\;
  • Microsoft Windows 7: C:\Users\User_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\.

To change the path of the backup file, please do the following:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the bottom part of the window, click the Kaspersky Password Manager button.
  3. In the window that opens, click the Settings button.
  4. In the left part of the window, select the My passwords section.
  5. In the right part of the window, under Backup, click the button Password Manager open folder Location of the backup copy located in the right part of the field Path.
