# Configuration Files

CopyStorm/Restore supports saving a restore set configuration in two formats:

* Plain-text XML.
* Encrypted text using 256-bit DES encryption.

Both formats allow saving Salesforce and database credentials — passwords are always encrypted. A CopyStorm/Restore session can be completely restored using the File / Open operation.

The “Save” dialog allows the selection of a directory and file name, as well as options to Encrypt and Save Passwords:

The plain-text XML version of the file is not intended to be edited by hand, as it is fairly complex. If problems arise from hand-editing a configuration file, Capstorm may not supply support.
