Backing up your vaults

To properly back up a vault, you back up the .vault file that is

associated with it. Even though vaults appear below the My

Documents folder, the files themselves are not stored there.

Each vault and its contents are stored in a single vault which is

really just a secure file. The name of the file is “Vault

Name.vault”.

The .vault files are physically stored within your Windows user

profile. For example, Windows XP stores the vaults under

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local

Settings\Application Data\McAfee Anti Theft. Windows Vista

stores them under

C:\users\<username>\AppData\local\McAfee Anti Theft.

To back up your vaults, do one of the following:

 Backup your entire computer.

 Add the C:\Documents and Settings\<username> folder to

your backup so that your .vault files are also backed up.

 When you create a vault, use the Advanced options to create

the .vault file in a directory in My Documents. Your .vault

files will be backed up when you back up My Documents.

Note: Before backing up your .vault files, make sure that you lock

your vaults.
