Automatic Backups

Built-In Backup Protection for Passwordstate

Passwordstate includes a built-in backup feature for protecting the web application files, SQL Server database and the encryption material required to recover the environment.

Backups can be performed on demand or according to a configured schedule, helping organizations incorporate Passwordstate into their existing backup and disaster recovery processes.

Back Up Application Files and Database Data

The backup process can protect the components required to restore a Passwordstate environment, including application files, configuration data and the SQL Server database.

• Store backup files on a configured network share.
• Back up the contents of the Passwordstate installation directory.
• Back up the Passwordstate SQL Server database.
• Preserve the encryption keys and configuration required to recover protected credential data.
• Configure separate locations for application and database backups.
• Apply password protection to generated ZIP archives.

Backups Without Taking Passwordstate Offline

Passwordstate backups can be performed while the application remains available, avoiding the need to place the entire environment into a planned maintenance window for each scheduled backup.

Backup duration and any effect on system performance will depend on factors such as the size of the database, infrastructure resources, storage performance and network connectivity.

Documented Recovery Procedures

Passwordstate provides recovery documentation to guide administrators through restoring the application files, database and supporting configuration.

Support Your Disaster Recovery Strategy

Passwordstate's backup capabilities are designed to complement an organization's wider backup, business continuity and disaster recovery strategy.

Organizations should regularly validate backup completion, protect backup locations, retain copies according to internal policy and test recovery procedures in a suitable non-production environment.
