Can Storage Studio read my Delta Trust backups?

\n

Short answer: No. Delta Trust backups are encrypted on your Mac and only your 24-word recovery kit opens them. We can't look up or reset that kit, so we can never read your backups.

\n

No. Your Delta Trust backups are encrypted on your Mac and can only be opened with your recovery kit — 24 words that only you hold. We cannot look the kit up, reset it or recover it, and that's the same fact that keeps your backups readable only by you.

\n

The vault is also deliberately impossible to browse — in the app, on the web, and by us. We look after the storage side; we never see what's in it.
