Delta Drive, Delta Trust & My Drive · Delta Trust backups
Can backups go into a _Backup folder in Delta Drive instead of the vault?
Short answer: Yes — choosing Delta Drive as a destination puts versioned backups in a _Backup folder, opened by the same recovery kit. Unlike Delta Trust, that folder can be deleted like any other file.
Yes. Choose Delta Drive in a backup's Destination menu and Storage Studio makes a folder called _Backup in your drive and keeps the versions there. It's encrypted the same way as the vault, and the same recovery kit opens it.
But it isn't the vault. The _Backup folder sits beside your own files: you can see it, and you can delete it, the same as anything else in the drive. In Delta Trust, nothing on your Mac can remove what's been backed up.
So Delta Drive is a convenient place for a second copy, and Delta Trust is the one that survives something going badly wrong. See which to choose.
