Arizen wallet has a convenient feature for making backups of your wallets. And we recommend you to use it. If you’re logged in, you can export or import your wallet in *.uawd or *.awd. This process causes that you manually create a back- up file of your wallet or you import the back-up wallet into Arizen. Click on menu item "File" and choose option "Back-up" or "Import", see Fig. 1.22.
If you choose option "Backup ENCRYPTED" wallet you’ll see an important on your screen. It informs you that your private keys will be encrypted and in order to access your private keys you need to know the corresponding username and password, otherwise you cannot control your ZEN. So, please be aware and confirm that you understand this fact by clicking on "I understand."
If you choose option" Backup UNENCRYPTED" wallet you’ll see an important warning on your screen. It informs you that your wallet will be exported in plain text. It means that everyone who has a file with this text can control with your ZEN. So please be aware and confirm that you understand this fact by clicking on I understand.
