Backups & restore points · Encryption and passphrases
Can Storage Studio see what's in my backups?
Short answer: No. Backups to your own drive or cloud account go directly from your Mac to that destination, not through our servers. Cloud backups are encrypted on your Mac and we never have your passphrase.
No. When you back up to your own drive or your own cloud account, the backup goes straight from your Mac to that destination — it doesn't pass through our servers. Cloud backups are encrypted on your Mac first, and we never have your passphrase.
That's also why we can't recover a lost passphrase or open a backup for you. For what the app does send, see privacy and safety.
