# What is Delta Trust?

Delta Trust is your backup vault, on storage Storage Studio runs for you. Its defining promise: nothing on your Mac can delete or overwrite what has already been backed up, for a set number of days — not a program, not someone who takes over your Mac, and not us.

You set it up and use it from the **Data Backup** screen, on the Delta Trust card. Backups are versioned, so you can go back to earlier copies with **Storage & restore**, and setting up gives you a **recovery kit** that only you hold.
