A Data Backup Plan is a protection plan meant for those desiring to make a “decentralized backup” of their digital data, alone, or together with other shareholders.
The data that can be protected with a Data Backup Plan is the same as with a Digital Inheritance Plan, but its plan properties are different.
This plan type allows for flexibility in managing and protecting sensitive information, making it ideal for those who wish to maintain control over their digital assets, either individually or in collaboration with trusted partners.
Creating a data backup plan with Inheriti® is simple and straightforward. After logging into your account, navigate to the “Protection Plans” section and select the option to create a new data backup plan.
You’ll be guided through the process of configuring your protection plan, where you can specify details such as your trusted shareholders, storage layers, preferred blockchain, and plan triggers.
Once configured, your data will be split into encrypted shares and distributed securely according to your plan settings.
Inheriti® allows users to back up a wide range of data, including but not limited to passwords, private keys, cryptocurrency wallets, card details, account credentials, secret recipes, API keys, and other sensitive information.
Whether it’s safeguarding important account details, preserving cherished memories, or protecting business-critical data, Inheriti® offers a versatile solution for securing various types of digital assets.
Data backups with Inheriti® are highly secure and resilient against breaches. The platform utilizes advanced encryption algorithms and the Secure Share Distribution Protocol (SSDP) to split, encrypt, and distribute data across multiple secure locations or devices.
This decentralized approach ensures that there is no single point of failure, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized parties to access or tamper with the encrypted shares.
Additionally, users have full control over their protection plans, with options for multi-layered verification and security protocols to further enhance data security.
To restore data from a backup plan in Inheriti®, you need to initiate the merging process as the Merge Authority (MA).
If you’re both the plan owner and Merge Authority, you can do this via the Inheriti® dashboard. However, if you’re not the plan owner, go to the Inheriti® login page and click the merge button.
This will take you to the public merging page, where you can choose to initiate merging via SafeKey Pro (by plugging the device into your computer) or scan a QR code with SafeKey Mobile to release the shares.
Once merging is initiated, the plan triggers verify if the plan owner approves the merging. If approved, gather all other shareholders to load their shares into Inheriti®, so they can be merged and reveal the data.
Inheriti® does not impose strict limits on the overall amount of data you can back up.
However, there is a limit of 500 characters per protection plan. This means that while you can create multiple protection plans to back up your data, each individual plan is restricted to 500 characters of encrypted data.
It’s essential to consider this limit when configuring your protection plans and optimizing your data backup strategy within Inheriti®.
The best way to delete a backup in Inheriti® is to access the backup plan through your account dashboard and click the “Destroy” button.
This action initiates the process of making the plan unrecoverable by deleting or overwriting the shares and configuration associated with it.
While some shares may still exist, such as those stored on beneficiaries’ devices or on the blockchain, the “Destroy” action ensures that the backup plan becomes unrecoverable and inaccessible.
Once destroyed, the Merge Authority cannot initiate the merging process, and the data becomes effectively irretrievable.
It’s important to note that while some shares may persist, they are worthless on their own and do not compromise the security of the data.
These plans are crucial for managing digital legacies, ensuring that your digital assets are passed on according to your wishes with high security and compliance.
Ideal for users who are preparing for the future management and transfer of their digital assets after their lifetime.
Use when you need a secure plan to pass on digital assets like cryptocurrencies, digital wallets, and other sensitive digital data to designated heirs according to your wishes.
Creating a digital inheritance plan with Inheriti® is a seamless process.
Begin by logging into your account and navigating to the “Protection Plans” section. Select the option to create a new digital inheritance plan to initiate the configuration process.
You’ll be guided through configuring your inheritance plan, where you can specify essential details such as your trusted heirs, merge authority, and one or more Dead Man Switches as additional security layer.
Additionally, you can define the types of digital assets you wish to include in the inheritance plan, such as cryptocurrency wallets, passwords, online accounts, card credentials, and other sensitive data.
Once configured, your plan will be ready to safeguard your digital assets and ensure their smooth transfer to your chosen heirs according to your wishes.
Inheriti® offers flexibility in making various types of digital data inheritable, ensuring comprehensive protection for your digital assets.
You can include a wide range of sensitive information, such as cryptocurrency wallet private keys, passwords, account logins, card credentials, and personal data, among others, in your digital inheritance plan.
Ensuring access to your data only when necessary is paramount, and Inheriti® provides an additional security layer to facilitate this.
Activation methods such as the Dead Man Switch allow you to set conditions for data access, ensuring that your digital assets are accessible to designated beneficiaries only under specified circumstances, such as your incapacitation or passing.
In a digital inheritance plan with Inheriti®, the Dead Man Switch serves as a critical mechanism to ensure the secure management and transfer of your digital assets in the event of your incapacity or passing. Unlike active approval methods, such as plan triggers, the Dead Man Switch operates on the principle of passive approval, triggered by a lack of specific actions within a predetermined timeframe.
For example, if the plan owner fails to log in to their account, click a link, or enter a verification code received via SMS within the specified timeframe, it indicates inactivity and triggers the Dead Man Switch. This activation signals the system to initiate the inheritance process, facilitating the secure transfer of assets to designated heirs according to the plan owner’s wishes.
By providing a safeguard against prolonged inactivity or incapacitation, the Dead Man Switch ensures that your digital assets are managed and transferred securely, even in the absence of active approval from the plan owner.
This feature enhances the reliability and effectiveness of digital inheritance plans in safeguarding your digital legacy with Inheriti®.
Digital inheritance plans with Inheriti® are engineered with the highest standards of security to safeguard your valuable digital assets. Your data remains completely private and under your control throughout the entire process, as Inheriti® never accesses or stores your data.
When you create a digital inheritance plan, your data is encrypted directly within your browser, ensuring that it never leaves your device in unencrypted form. This encrypted data is then split into shares and distributed across multiple secure layers, utilizing Inheriti®’s Secure Share Distribution Protocol.
As the plan owner, you maintain full control over the opening of the plan through the Dead Man Switch, which acts as a fail-safe mechanism to prevent unauthorized access or merging of data. You have the power to abort or reject the merging process at any time, ensuring that your data remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
Moreover, Inheriti® employs a multi-layered approach to eliminate single points of failure. Even if one or more shares are compromised, the merging threshold and backup shares ensure that your data remains recoverable. Each share contains only encrypted fragments of your data, providing an additional layer of security against unauthorized access.
Inheriti®’s innovative security measures, combined with its decentralized architecture and user-controlled access, ensure that your digital inheritance plans are fortified against breaches and unauthorized access, providing you with peace of mind regarding the protection of your digital legacy.
If you’ve lost your password for your Inheriti® account, don’t worry, you can easily reset it.
Just keep in mind Inheriti® is connected to your SafeID account. SafeID is the gateway to the entire ecosystem, including Inheriti® and SafeKey Mobile.
So simply initiate the password reset process via Inheriti®, SafeKey Mobile, or SafeID, and follow the provided instructions to securely reset your password and regain access to your account.
In the unlikely event of SafeTech’s discontinuation, we are committed to safeguarding our users’ interests and assets.
Should such a scenario arise, we will initiate proactive communication with all users to address the situation. Users will be contacted well in advance, providing ample time to evaluate their protection plans and explore alternative options.
It’s important to note that even in such a situation, no one will ever have access to your encrypted data. Your data remains secure and uncompromised.
However, if SafeTech ceases to exist, the configuration and infrastructure supporting your protection plans may be affected, making it impossible to merge shares and access your protected data.
Rest assured, we will provide guidance and support throughout this process to ensure the best possible outcome for our users.
If the Merge Authority (MA) becomes unavailable, it’s important to have contingency plans in place. As the plan owner, you can create a new plan and designate a new Merge Authority to ensure continuity.
Additionally, encourage your Merge Authority to create their own inheritance plan with instructions for transferring their responsibilities in case of their unavailability or passing.
This proactive approach ensures seamless management and transfer of digital assets even in unexpected circumstances.
Losing your SafeKey Pro device can pose challenges, especially if no backup devices were made.
If a beneficiary loses their SafeKey Pro device, the impact depends on the merging threshold set by the plan owner.
If the threshold can still be met with remaining shares and the available backup shares, data access is preserved. Otherwise, the loss may lead to data inaccessibility.
To mitigate the risk of losing access to your shares, always keep backups of your SafeKey Pro device and create identical copies by restoring backups onto additional devices.
