# Export a Vultisig Vault Backup
Export a Vultisig vault backup from Settings. Each device has its own share. Full storage and recovery: Backup & Recovery.
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Make sure to have all backups of all devices saved before sending in funds.**
Without a backup, a lost device can mean lost funds.
{% endhint %}
Full storage and recovery: [Backup & Recovery](/getting-started/backup-recovery.md).

## How to backup
1. Go to **Settings** → **Vault Settings**
2. Tap **Backup**
3. Optionally set a password on the file — you will need it to restore
4. Save the `.vult` file somewhere you will still have if this device is gone
5. **Repeat on every other device** in the vault
Backup in Settings

## Keep in mind
* Each device has its own share, and its own backup
* Files use the `.vult` extension
* **Never store two shares in the same place**
* After a [reshare](/app-guide/vault-management/vault-reshare.md), export new backups. Do not mix old and new sets

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.vultisig.com/app-guide/vault-management/vault-backup.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
