What changed and why it matters
Your exported training history can be locked with a password, so a backup file stays private even if it ends up somewhere you did not intend.
A backup holds your whole training identity. Optional encryption lets you keep a personal copy with real protection, without giving up the simplicity of a regular backup when you do not need it.
How to use it
Where to find it: Go to Data Center or Settings → Backup & Restore, and set a password when you export.
Do you need to do anything? Optional — choose a password at export time if you want an encrypted backup. Keep it safe; it cannot be recovered if lost.
In a nutshell
SwingVantage added optional password-based encryption for backups: setting a password at export produces an encrypted file that requires the password to restore, while unencrypted backups remain fully supported.

You can now set a password when you export your SwingVantage backup. With a password, SwingVantage saves a securely encrypted backup file, and asks for that password when you restore it. Plain, unencrypted backups still work exactly as before if you prefer them.
