Preserving exchange records in case you suddenly lose access to your devices
Records kept only on one phone or laptop can disappear with the device. How readers in Ukraine can export and store exchange histories from Binance, OKX, Bybit and Bitget so they survive a lost, damaged or confiscated device.

For many people the only record of their exchange activity is the history inside the app and perhaps a spreadsheet on one laptop. That works until the device is lost, damaged, stolen or left behind during a sudden move. The exchange still holds its own history, but you may need sign-in access to reach it, and you may need older records quickly for recovery, support requests or personal accounting. This guide shows how to build a resilient copy of your records outside any single device, while keeping sensitive information protected and never storing secrets alongside the data.
Export the core histories regularly
Once a month, export your trade history, deposit history, withdrawal history and, if you use derivatives, funding and position histories from each exchange. The help centre of each platform explains which reports are available and in which formats. Save them with file names that start with the year and month, followed by the exchange and report type. Regular small exports are much easier than trying to reconstruct a year at once.
Keep copies in at least two places
Store one copy in encrypted cloud storage protected by a strong password and two-step verification, and another on an encrypted external drive kept somewhere separate from your main device. If you might relocate quickly, consider a small encrypted drive that is easy to carry. Test that you can open the files from a different device. A backup you have never tried to restore is only a hope.
Separate records from secrets
Never store passwords, recovery phrases, API secrets or two-step verification backup codes in the same folder or cloud account as your records. Those belong on paper or in a dedicated password manager. Records reveal your activity and balances, which is sensitive, but secrets give direct control. Keeping them apart means that losing one does not expose the other. Write down where each is kept in a short note that does not contain the secrets themselves.
Add a short context note each month
Alongside each month's exports, add a few lines explaining anything unusual: transfers between your own wallets, support tickets with their numbers, or address changes. These notes are invaluable when you return to the records months later, perhaps under stress. Review the archive every quarter to check nothing is missing and that both backup locations are up to date.

Scenario checkpoint
- Export trade, deposit, withdrawal and funding histories from each exchange every month.
- Keep encrypted copies both in cloud storage and on a separate external drive.
- Store passwords, recovery phrases and API secrets apart from the record archive.
- Open the backup files from a different device to confirm they can be restored.
