FAQs
Is backup storage included?
No, backup storage is not included. You can back up to local folders, network drives, external disks, and S3-compatible cloud storage that you already own.
How much does it cost?
Azivault is free to try for 7 days and then costs $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year through the Mac App Store.
What happens to my backups if I cancel my subscription?
You can always access your backups and restore files even after cancelling your subscription. Expired subscriptions only lose access to make new backups, not to restore existing ones.
Should I use Azivault with Time Machine?
Many Mac users should use both. Time Machine is the first layer for local Mac recovery. Azivault is for encrypted offsite repositories on storage you control.
Does it keep file versions?
Yes, each backup run makes a copy of changed files so you can easily restore previous versions.
What if I lose my Mac?
You can restore your backups to a new Mac if you lose your device so long as you can access the backup location.
