Your recovery kit is 24 words that are the only way into your Delta Trust vault. You print it when you create the vault, and it's what opens your backups from a fresh Mac. The same kit also opens backups you send into Delta Drive's _Backup folder.

Your recovery kit is the only way back in. If you lose it, your backups can never be recovered — not even by Storage Studio.
