Offline copy

We thought that once you start using Clipperz to access your private data, it could be a real nuisance being offline! This is why we implemented the offline copy feature.

With just one click you can dump all your encrypted data from Clipperz servers to your hard disk and create a read-only version of Clipperz to be used when you are offline.

The read-only version is as secure as the read-and-write one and will not expose your data to higher risks since they both share the same code and security architecture.

Of course you cannot add new cards or modify/delete existing ones.

To download your offline copy, follow these steps:

1. Select “Offline copy” under the “data” tab.
2. Click the “Download” link.
3. The browser will ask you what to do with the “Clipperz_YYYYMMDD.html” file. Save it on your hard disk.
4. Double click on the downloaded file to launch the offline version in your browser.
5. Enter the usual username and passphrase.

The inner structure

If you are a curious type, you can take a look at the source of the downloaded html file. Open it with a good text editor and look for the string

<script>_clipperz_dump_data_

Starting from that row is the very raw data that you have been storing to and reading from Clipperz servers. Quite scrambled, isn’t it? The only way to make sense of it is knowing your username and passphrase!
