BACK UP & MOVE

How to move your MemoVault backup to a new phone

To move supported vault content to another Android phone, create an encrypted Backup on the old phone, copy the archive across and restore it in MemoVault. Keep the old phone’s data until you have checked the result.

Step by step

  1. Make a current backup

    Unlock the vault on your old phone and open Backup. Choose “Create encrypted backup”, follow the prompts and keep the password you use for this archive.

  2. Locate and copy the archive

    Check that the archive has been saved in the destination you selected. Copy it to the new phone using a file-transfer method you trust. Retain the original archive until the transfer and restore are confirmed.

  3. Open MemoVault on the new phone

    Install MemoVault from Google Play. Complete the initial setup and open the vault so you can access Backup.

  4. Restore the encrypted backup

    Choose “Restore encrypted backup”, select the transferred archive and enter its original backup password. Follow the prompts and allow the restore to finish.

  5. Check the restored content

    Check your photos, videos, documents and any notes or contacts included in the archive. Confirm the items you need are accessible before clearing the old phone or deleting existing copies.

Which password should I use?

Use the password that protected the backup archive when it was created. Setting a new vault password on the new phone does not replace the password needed to decrypt that archive.

Can the developer transfer my vault for me?

Secret Core Studios does not operate a cloud vault containing your files. The transfer depends on the archive you keep and the password used to protect it.

What if restoration fails?

Keep the old vault and the archive. Check that you selected the intended file and used its backup password. Contact support if you need help, but do not send your passwords or private files.
