# Import / Export Data Overview

Data can be imported into or exported from either an **Individual Vault** or a **Shared Vault**.

In this way, data can be exported from one vault and the data reimported into another Vault.

- **[Import Data:](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/78)** Data can be imported into a Vault using a **variety** of **file formats**. Data is **encrypted locally** before being sent to the server for storage.
- [**Data Import Errors**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/80) : If the data does not conform with the WALLIX Enterprise Vault data requirements, a **data import error** **message** is displayed. The data can be **corrected** before being imported.
- [**Export Unencrypted Vault**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/79): A Vault can be exported and downloaded to your computer without first being encrypted. This is possible for Individual and Shared Vaults.
- [**Export Encrypted Vault**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/81): A Vault can be encrypted using one of two methods (**Account restricted** or **Password protected**) before being exported.
- [**Reimport Encrypted Export**](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/84): When data is exported using the **Account Restricted m**ethod, it can be **reimported** into the **same** **vault**.
