To backup your password data, you need to copy all *.xml files
from your PocketPasswords installation directory (usually \program
files\PocketPasswords\). For each category, there will be a XML-File which
contains it's definition and data. If encryption is enabled, these data is
encrypted and not readable.
By default there are 4 xml files with the following names:
- cards.xml
- custom.xml
- serial.xml
- websites.xml
If you want to copy them back later, use this description on how to do this:
1. Uninstall PocketPasswords.
2. Then manually delete the PocketPasswords folder if it remains.
3. Reinstall PocketPasswords.
4. If you were using encryption, start PocketPasswords and enable encryption (password doesn't matter as it isn't been store, only used to encrypt/decrypt).
5. Copy the backups of your xml files back to the PocketPasswords folder.
