Restore from Backup

Recover a wallet from a mnemonic or encrypted backup file.

Restore from mnemonic

Desktop

1. Launch NozyWallet (taskbar window, not browser tab).
2. Welcome → Restore wallet.
3. Enter all 24 words in order.
4. Set a new password (can match old password).
5. Unlock → Sync to tip.

CLI

nozy restore
# Paste mnemonic when prompted
nozy sync --to-tip
nozy balance

Restore from backup file (desktop)

1. Welcome or Settings → Restore from backup.
2. Select the .backup / wallet backup file path.
3. Enter password used when backup was created.
4. Unlock again (session cleared after restore).
5. Sync to tip before sending.

Restore on a new computer

1. Install NozyWallet (Installation).
2. Install or connect to Zebrad (Set Up Your Own Node).
3. Set zebra_url in config or Settings.
4. Restore mnemonic or file.
5. Run nozy test-zebra or Settings → Test Connection.
6. Sync until last_scan_height matches chain tip.

Multi-wallet profiles

If you used multiple profiles on the old machine:

• Each profile has its own mnemonic.
• Restore creates a new profile entry — name it to match your old label.
• Old profile IDs are not preserved; data paths are new UUIDs.
