A real safety net, not just a copy

Everything a backup should do, in plain language the whole family can use.

✅

Proven restore

After your first backup, HearthVault restores a real test file, opens it, and verifies it. You know it works, not just that it exists.

🔐

Private, no cloud

Your files never leave your home. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry. Backups live on your own drives.

⏳

Time machine versions

Keep dated history so you can go back to how a file looked last week, not just its latest version.

🪩

Mirror or add-only

Choose an exact mirror, dated versions, or an add-only copy that never deletes. Whatever fits your files.

🔁

3-2-1 in one run

Back up to several places at once: another disk, an external drive, and your cloud folder. The gold standard, automatically.

☁️

Your own cloud

Back up into your OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive folder. It is your cloud and your account, not ours.

🛡️

Ransomware shield

If a run would change or delete an unusual number of files at once, HearthVault pauses and asks first, protecting your last good copy.

🖥️

Family Mesh add-on

Keep an automatic, encrypted copy on another computer in your home. A tiny receiver runs there with zero typing.

🕘

Set it and forget it

Daily, every few hours, continuously as files change, or manually. It runs quietly from your tray.

🔎

Restore made calm

Tell it what happened, deleted a file, lost everything, want an older version, and it sets up the right restore for you.

📂

Recover without the app

Backups are plain files in plain folders. Open them in File Explorer and copy them out. No lock-in, ever.

🔐

Private by design

No accounts, no servers, no cloud. Your files stay on your own drives, and with Family Mesh they travel only between your own computers over your home network, encrypted. We never see any of it.

A note on honesty: HearthVault is a tool that helps you keep good backups, it cannot promise data is never lost. You choose your destinations, and keeping more than one copy and testing restores is up to you. HearthVault makes that easy and proves the copy is restorable.

Your files, safe.And proven to come back.
