Trezor.io/Start ❖ Recovery® Practice ✦ Wallet Drills ★

Practicing seed recovery ✦ is critical to ensure you can restore your wallet in case of loss, theft, or device failure. This guide walks you through realistic drills without risking actual funds, teaching you how to confidently recover wallets from backups.

❖ Why Recovery Drills Matter

Even the most careful users can fail to restore wallets due to skipped steps, lost words, or misremembered passphrases. ✦ Practicing ensures your procedure is reliable and repeatable.

✦ Setting Up a Test Environment

  1. Create a test wallet with small amounts.
  2. Backup the seed using your intended method (paper, steel, or Shamir ✦ split).
  3. Attempt restoration on a separate device.
  4. Verify addresses match your test wallet.

★ Multi-Location Backup Drills

If you store backups in multiple locations, simulate emergency recovery by retrieving seeds from each site. ✦ This ensures accessibility and reduces risk of data loss.
