# Recovery options

Recovery options describe how to regain access to data in Devolutions Cloud after user loss, configuration issues, or major incidents. The disaster recovery guide explains how to back up entries, while cached offline mode in tools like Remote Desktop Manager or Devolutions Password Manager provides read-only access when Devolutions Cloud is temporarily unavailable. Rekeying procedures enable you to regenerate encryption keys and re-encrypt configuration files when necessary.

Administrators can also restore deleted vaults, convert a departed user’s vault into a shared vault, and follow documented steps to recover from serious outages. In practice, these options are usually combined with the emergency kit so owners can regain administrative access even when primary credentials or identity providers are unavailable.
