mSecure automatically creates backups of your data after detecting five changes. These backups can be used to restore your information whenever needed. By default, backups are stored in iCloud Drive and can be accessed directly from your iCloud account. 

If iCloud Drive access is disabled for mSecure, auto-backups will be stored within the app itself. However, deleting the app will also delete these backups if iCloud Drive is not enabled. 

Creating or Viewing an Auto-Backup 

1. Open and unlock mSecure.
2. Tap the Menu (three horizontal lines) icon in the top-left corner. 
3. Tap Settings (gear icon in bottom-left corner).
4. Tap Backups.
5. Tap Backup Now. 

Note: Ensure that mSecure is enabled in your iCloud Drive settings (enabled by default). If enabled, mSecure will store backup files in the iCloud drive under a non-descript name that will look like gibberish to you. These backups are accessible across all your devices and will be available in the Backups section of mSecure on your iOS or Mac devices. See steps below to make sure that your iCloud drive is linked to mSecure.
