I have configured
fprintd
on Arch Linux by following the [wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fprint) and enrolled fingerprints with fprintd-enroll
. According to this [question](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/644237/where-does-fprint-store-fingerprints) the fingerprints should be stored at /var/lib/fprint/
and /etc/fprintd.conf
doesn't tell me anything. The only file in /var/lib/fprint/
is strongbad/synaptics/590ac910c956/7
with size 118 bytes and does not look like a fingerprint to me

How do I backup and restore the fignerprints?
