Users may export their entire data store through functionality built into the SecureLogin client.

Additional Information
While SecureLogin provides a method for the administrator to migrate configuration data (Application Definitions, Password Policies, Passphrase Question, and Preferences) there is not a provided method for an administrator to migrate passwords and passphrase responses. This is by design.
For the end-users' protection, the SecureLogin tools will only export passwords / passphrase responses if the following are true:
1. The process is completed by the user himself / herself while logged into the NSL Client.
2. The password supplied during the restore matches the password used when the backup was performed.
