## Copay Backups and Recovery
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copay v1.2 use BIP39 mnemonics for backing up wallets. The standard BIP44 is used for wallet address derivation. Multisig wallets uses P2SH address, while non multisig wallets use P2PKH.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Information about Backup and recovery procedures is available at https://github.com/bitpay/copay/blob/master/backupRecovery.md
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Previous versions of Copay use files as backups. See the following section.

## Wallet Export format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Copay encrypts the backup with the [Stanford JS Crypto Library](http://bitwiseshiftleft.github.io/sjcl/). To extract the private key of your wallet you can use https://bitwiseshiftleft.github.io/sjcl/demo/, copy the backup to 'ciphertext' and enter your password. The resulting JSON will have a key named: `xPrivKey`, that is the extended private key of your wallet. That information is enough to sign any transaction from your wallet, so be careful when handling it!
