@kuklei I see, you are on Windows, it should be under C:\Users{USER}\AppData\Roaming\AnyDesk. I don't have experience restoring user.conf on Windows, but I believe if you copy the whole user.conf file to C:\Users{USER}\AppData\Roaming\AnyDesk path, it should restore all the data within that backup. Also try restarting the app and/or the win host.

I need a file containing all the passwords for all users, as transferring the file to another device requires entering the password for each user.
