# Copy a Protected Item Configuration to New Device

From the eazyBackup Control Panel, you can copy and paste Protected Item configurations between your devices. To copy a Protected Item, follow these steps:

* Log in to the control panel:  <https://panel.eazybackup.ca/>
* Select the Protected Items icon
* On the Protected Items page, click the 'Copy' button next to the item you want to move
* Click the 'Paste' button that appears at the top of this page
* Select the new device from the list

Copying and pasting a Protected Item does not copy backup data, this function is only moving the configuration including file selection, retention settings and schedules.
