SecureCRT] How to Back Up and Restore SecureCRT Settings on Windows

-

If you're a frequent user of SecureCRT, backing up your session settings and restoring them later is crucial—especially when migrating to a new PC or recovering from a crash.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to manually back up and restore SecureCRT settings on Windows, ensuring you never lose your configurations again.

Does SecureCRT Have a Built-in Export/Import Feature?

Yes, SecureCRT provides built-in export and import features in the Tools menu. However, these features may not capture all configuration details such as:

  • Backup scripts
  • Custom login scripts
  • Certain session-specific files

Therefore, if you want to completely clone your SecureCRT environment—including every session and customization—the safest option is to manually back up the entire Config folder.

What Is the SecureCRT Config Folder?

SecureCRT stores your personal settings (sessions, host keys, global options, etc.) in a folder located at:

C:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config

This folder contains all the important files you’ll need for backup and restoration.

Note: The AppData folder is hidden by default. Open File Explorer and enable “Hidden items” from the View tab to access it.



How to Back Up SecureCRT Settings

Follow these steps to safely back up your configuration:

Step 1: Navigate to the Config Folder

C:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke

Step 2: Zip the Config Folder

  1. Right-click the Config folder.
  2. Choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
  3. Save the Config.zip file to a secure location like a USB drive, external HDD, or cloud storage.

How to Restore SecureCRT Settings

To restore your settings on the same or a different PC:

  1. Close SecureCRT if it’s running.
  2. Unzip the Config.zip file.
  3. Copy and paste the extracted Config folder to:
    C:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke

How to Set Up Vaultwarden (Bitwarden) on Synology NAS (Best Free Alternative to LastPass)

-

Have you ever felt overwhelmed managing passwords for all your websites? I used to use the same password across multiple sites , which wasn’t secure. To manage them better, I started using LastPass for years. However, in 2019, they changed their pricing policy — now it’s free only for one device for 30 days, and you have to pay to use it across multiple devices . If you're looking for a powerful and free password manager, Vaultwarden is one of the best alternatives to LastPass. What is Vaultwarden? Vaultwarden (formerly known as Bitwarden_RS) is a lightweight, open-source implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust . It is fully compatible with official Bitwarden clients and is ideal for low-resource environments. Example: On a Synology DS916+, Vaultwarden uses 0% CPU and only 64MB of memory while running. My Setup NAS Model : Synology DS916+ DSM Version : DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1 Docker Image : vaultwarden/server Ins...
