How do I set up Delta Trust?

\n

Short answer: Open Data Backup and follow the Delta Trust card: choose a plan, create your vault and pick where data is kept, then print your 24-word recovery kit and keep it safe. Then choose Delta Trust as a backup's destination.

\n

Set it up from the Data Backup screen, on the Delta Trust card. It leads you through it:

\n
  1. Choose a plan.
  2. Create your vault, and pick where your data is kept.
  3. Print your recovery kit — 24 words that are the only way into the vault. Keep it somewhere safe and away from that Mac.
  4. Point a backup at Delta Trust using the card's Destination menu.
\n

We cannot look up, reset or recover your recovery kit, so don't skip step 3.

\n
