# How do I set up Delta Trust?

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

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.

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

See [what the recovery kit is](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/what-is-the-delta-trust-recovery-kit) and the [Data Backup manual](https://storagestudio.us/manual/data-backup).
