Backing up or restoring data in SanDisk SecureAccess v3.0 vault
How do I backup or restore data in my SanDisk SecureAccess 3.0 vault?

Regular backups are critically important. SecureAccess Backup feature creates an encrypted copy of your vault on your computer. If your flash drive is lost or damaged, you can restore and recover the vault data that you have backed up to to a new flash drive.

OPTIONS
There are a couple of options that should be set prior to using the Backup and Restore Feature.

1. From the Tools menus, click on Options

2. Select the Locations Tab and choose your desired options.

Backup Location: Saves backups to the selected location
Application Data = C:\Users\Local User\Appdata\Local\ENC Security Systems BV\SanDiskSecureAccess\Backup
My Documents = C:\Users\Local User\My Documents\SanDiskSecureAccess\Backup

Backup Retention: The Backup feature creates a new encrypted copy of the data on the hard drive. Old backups are not deleted and consume space on the hard drive unless Enable Automatic Backup Retention feature is selected. Backup Retention feature will limit the number of retained backups to the number entered and erase the oldest backup when the number is exceeded.

Mount Options: Not available without upgrade
