### Backup

It is important to regularly backup your passwords to prevent data loss. Lprs does not provide an automatic backup feature. To backup your passwords, you can use the `export` command provided by Lprs. This command allows you to export your encrypted passwords to a json file, which you can then manually backup to a secure location.

#### Formats
The format of the exported file can be specified using the `--format` option. The following formats are supported:

-  `lprs`: The default format used by Lprs. This format is encrypted and can be imported back into Lprs using the `import` command. This is the recommended format to use for backups as it is encrypted and can be imported back into Lprs.
- `bit-warden`: The format used by [Bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com/). This format is not encrypted and can be imported into Bitwarden. This format is useful if you want to switch to Bitwarden or another password manager that supports this format.
