Delta Drive, Delta Trust & My Drive · Delta Trust backups
What is the second copy option for Delta Trust?
Short answer: Where your plan offers it, a second copy keeps your vault with a different storage company so an outage at one doesn't strand you. It's the same backup elsewhere, not a second vault, and it runs on our servers, not your connection.
Where your plan offers it, you can ask us to keep a second copy of your vault with a different storage company. It survives the first company having a bad day — an outage, an account problem, a region going away.
What it isn't:
- It's not a second vault — same encryption, same recovery kit; restoring from it is restoring the same backup from somewhere else.
- It does not add ransomware protection — that comes from the lock on the main copy.
The copy runs on our servers, so nothing goes through your Mac or is uploaded twice from your connection. A large vault can take a while, and the screen says whether the second copy is current or catching up.
