Export your safe data

SecretSafe allows you to export your safe's data at any time.

danger

Exports contain your safe data in an unencrypted format. You should not store or send the exported file over unsecure channels (such as email). Delete it immediately after you are done using it.

note

The .json file format offers a more complete export of your data and should be used for standard backup procedures. Some non-critical information is not included with the export when using the .csv file format.

An exported .json file can be opened, read, and modified in a simple text editor like Notepad.

An exported .csv file can be opened, read, and modified in spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel (preferred) or a simple text editor like Notepad.

At this time, exports do not include file attachment data.
