Backup and Restore​

  1. Create an account manager and set a password:
let manager = AccountManager::builder().finish().await.unwrap();

manager.set_stronghold_password("password").await.unwrap();
manager.store_mnemonic(SignerType::Stronghold, None).await.unwrap();
  1. Create your account:
let client_options = ClientOptionsBuilder::new()
    .with_node("https://api.lb-0.h.chrysalis-devnet.iota.cafe")?
    .build()
    .unwrap();
let account_handle = manager
    .create_account(client_options)?
    .alias("alias")
    .initialise()
    .await?;
let id = account_handle.id().await;
  1. You can secure your account in a backup file:
// backup the stored accounts to ./backup/${backup_name}
let backup_path = manager.backup("./backup").await?;

  1. You can import the backup later, or in another application using the following snippet:
manager.import_accounts(backup_path, "password").await?;

let imported_account_handle = manager.get_account(&id).await?;

let account = account_handle.read().await;
let imported_account = imported_account_handle.read().await;

That's it! You can now backup and restore your account!
