How to Back up Skype with Handy Backup
There are several important aspects of the implementation of the Skype Backup plug-in that you need to keep in mind for successful backup and restore:
- In order to back up/restore Skype data, the program's user interface must be closed and the process itself must be killed.
- In order to back up Skype plugins, its Plugin Manager (process name skypePM.exe) must not run.
- To restore Skype plugins, make sure that Plugin Manager has been run at least once on your system (important if you want to restore data above a freshly installed Skype).
- Skype's Protectedstorage is encrypted with a key that is interlinked with local machine and local user settings, so it can't be read and restored to a different PC or under a different user account.
