Restore Safari Keychain data after Remove All
I mistakenly removed all Safari Keychain data, which, of course, also removed the data from my iOS devices. I attempted a restore with a "Keychain" folder. It's on my desktop, but I'm not sure what to do with it or if it's even the right data. Can anyone help with how to restore keychain with Mozy? Thanks!!

The Keychain Access utilitity isn't mean to be used with an online backup.
If you use iCloud, you can store user names and passwords that will also sync iOS devices.

It's free up to 5GB's of storage.
I am trying to restore what I removed from Keychain. I have MozyHome. The folder on the desktop was a result of trying to find files to restore.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the AutoFill tab.
Select: User names and passwords
Visit a website. Enter the login data. You will be prompted tos save that data to a new keychain.
Restore... as I mentioned previously, Mozy is not compatible with Keychain Access. There is no way to restore with Mozy.
In the future, you may want to use iCloud Keycahin to store login data.

So, just to verify- Once "Remove All" is selected, there is absolutely no way to recover the passwords?
Using Mozy? Yes... that data will be deleted.
It seems like there must be some way to recover. If I had a Time Capsule, would that have provide a recover method?
