Three ways to restore

Find it the way you know it.

By date

Scrub back through every snapshot. Pick the moment before everything went wrong.

By path

Drill down through folders. Every version of every file, since the beginning.

By search

Full-text search across every filename, every path, every snapshot — fuzzy, fast, on-Mac.

Disaster recovery

Your new Mac, exactly as your old one.

If the worst happens — theft, flood, an angry espresso — restore a full snapshot to a new Mac in one sitting. Sign in. Enter your passphrase. Pick a date. Hit restore.

Cross-device

Restore from any Mac. Restore to any Mac.

Your snapshots belong to your account, not a single machine. Install macup on a new Mac, sign in, enter your passphrase, and every snapshot you have is available to restore.

Integrity

Verifiable. Not 'probably'.

Every snapshot has a checksum. Every restore is verified byte-by-byte against that checksum. If it doesn't match, macup tells you — loudly — before you trust the restore.

# Every restored chunk is verified client-side
sha256(chunk) === manifest.chunks[i].sha256
# Mismatch → restore aborts, surfaces error, logs the failing path
FAQ

About restore.

How far back can I restore?

Retention is per destination. macup Cloud defaults to 365 days on Starter and up to 3 years on higher tiers. BYOS holds as much history as your storage has room for — you set the retention.

Can I restore to a different Mac than the one that backed up?

Yes. Your snapshots belong to your macup account, not to a single machine. Install macup on the new Mac, sign in, enter your passphrase, and every snapshot you have is available.

What about full-disk restore?

Full-disk restore rebuilds a Mac from a snapshot — documents, app state, system preferences. You boot the new Mac, install macup, choose 'Restore from snapshot,' pick a date, and the restore runs in the background.

Can I restore just one file?

Yes. Browse snapshots in the web dashboard or menubar, find the file by path or search, click Restore. It lands on your desktop (or a path you choose).

Is the restore verified?

Every snapshot carries SHA-256 checksums for every chunk. Restore verifies each chunk against its checksum before writing to disk. If anything doesn't match, macup tells you loudly — before you trust the restored file.

Restore anything. From any moment.
