Backup your Vaults
Petra Vault is designed to be local to the device, meaning that you can only access your Vaults on the device that you create them on. If you want to access your Vaults from another device, export your current Vaults and import them on a new device using a backup file.
Getting Started
Navigate to the "Export Vaults" page
Navigate to the Settings page by clicking on the Settings option in the sidebar. You can then click on the Export tab to download your backup file.
Once you are on this page, you can download the backup file by clicking on the Download Backup File button. This will download all of your Vaults into a petra-vaults-export.json file
where you can import them on a new device.
Importing Vaults on a New Device
On the Onboarding flow, you will have the option to import your Vaults from a backup file in the Import an Existing Vault section.
Clicking on Backup Import will present a modal that will allow you to drag or select the petra-vaults-export.json file that you downloaded in the previous step.
Once you have selected the file, click on Import Vaults to import your Vaults.
Viewing your Imported Vaults
Once you have imported your Vaults, Petra Vault will automatically navigate you to the home page where you can view your imported Vaults.
Alternative Import Methods
Here are some other alternative import methods that you can use to import your Vaults onto different devices.
Vault Discovery
Petra Vault supports Vault discovery meaning that Petra Vault will automatically detect related Vaults when onboarding. A related Vault is defined as a Vault that the user has created or has voted on, and as long as they have not been removed as an owner.
To import a discovered Vault, click on the Import button next to the Vault that you would like to import and follow the rest of the onboarding flow.
Manual Address Import
If neither options above work, you can manually import your Vaults by entering the Vault address.
To import, type in the address of the Vault that you would like to import in the Import an Existing Vault section and click on Import Vault. Follow the rest of the onboarding flow to continue.
