# Wallet backup & recovery

To have a copy of your will, simply save the wallet from Electrum: `File → Save backup`.

If your computer is stolen or breaks down, install Electrum plus the BAL plugin on a new machine and open the previously saved wallet file.

!!! warning "Do not lose your Electrum wallet password"
    If you lose it, you can no longer access the inheritance data saved with the wallet file. Restoring the wallet **from seed** gives you back your bitcoin funds, but the BAL inheritance data stored in the wallet file is **lost**.

You can also **export the heirs list** for a printable copy of your inheritance.
