# Secure backup
By default, Element strongly encourages (but does not require) users to set up
Secure Backup so that cross-signing identity key and message keys can be
recovered in case of a disaster where you lose access to all active devices.
## Requiring secure backup
To require Secure Backup to be configured before Element can be used, set the
following on your homeserver's `/.well-known/matrix/client` config:
```json
{
"io.element.e2ee": {
"secure_backup_required": true
}
}
```
# Compatibility
The settings above were first proposed under a `im.vector.riot.e2ee` key, which
is now deprecated. Element will check for either key, preferring
`io.element.e2ee` if both exist.
