Restore

Bring back the version before things went wrong.

Restore one file, a folder, or a full Mac from a clear timeline. Start with the file you need today, then know the bigger recovery is there if you need it.

macup Cloud

The easiest place for your Mac backup to live.

Start with managed cloud storage from 9/mo. Add local or custom storage later only if your workflow needs it.

Easy start

No buckets, drives, or storage math. Sign in, install the Mac app, and your first cloud backup starts.

Ready to restore

Use the trial to bring back a real file, so you know recovery works before you rely on it.

Private by design

Your files are encrypted before they leave your Mac. macup Cloud stores the backup, not the ability to read it.

Protected snapshots

Older versions stay available, so one bad edit or accidental delete does not become the only copy.

No restore tax

Download what you need from macup Cloud without macup restore fees turning recovery into a surprise bill.

Built for real work

Large Photos libraries, Lightroom catalogues, Final Cut projects, and Logic sessions stay protected without constant babysitting.

How it works

Try the restore before you trust the backup.

  4. 4

    Restore a file

    Before you decide, bring one file back and see the recovery path for yourself.

Your data. Only yours. Recoverable when it matters.

macup encrypts every file before it leaves your Mac. macup Cloud keeps the protected copy, but only your key can unlock it. If the Mac is gone, your recovery code gives you another way back to your work.

Cloud is the default for most Macs. External drives and custom storage are useful add-ons, not chores you need on day one.

Optional local copy

Add a drive for big projects.

Keep a second copy on a Thunderbolt SSD, USB-C drive, or NAS when your work is large enough to deserve a local fallback too.

For existing storage

Use custom storage later.

If your team already pays for S3-compatible storage, macup can use it. Most new users should start with macup Cloud.

Built for

For work you would not want to rebuild.

macup Cloud is made for the folders that matter: client projects, photo libraries, sessions, edits, exports, and the everyday work sitting on your Mac.

Photographers

Lightroom catalogues

Keep the catalogue, edits, exports, and client folders protected while previews stay out of the way.

Your shoot stays recoverable

Filmmakers

Final Cut libraries

Protect the library and source media that matter without turning temporary render files into cloud clutter.

Big projects, cleaner backups

Musicians

Logic sessions

Keep sessions, stems, presets, and mixes available when a drive fails or a take gets overwritten.

Versions you can hear again

Designers

Fonts and client work

Restore the folder, font, or export from before the deadline panic.

Client work, not guesswork

Questions

If you were going to ask.

Why macup Cloud instead of Time Machine?

Time Machine is useful for a drive on your desk. macup Cloud is for the day the Mac and the drive are both gone, damaged, stolen, or out of reach. It keeps an off-site copy and gives you a clear restore path from a new Mac.

Can I test a restore before I pay?

Yes. That is the point of the trial. Start a backup, restore a real file, and make sure the path feels right before you commit.

Can macup see my files?

No. Your files are encrypted on your Mac before they upload. macup Cloud stores the protected copy, but only your key can unlock it.

What if I lose my Mac?

Install macup on a new Mac, sign in, unlock your backup, and restore the files you need. Your recovery code gives you a second way back in if the original Mac is gone.

Do I need my own storage?

No. macup Cloud is the default path and includes managed storage. Local drives and custom storage are there for people who want an extra copy or already have a storage setup.

Will cloud recovery cost extra?

macup does not add download fees when you restore from macup Cloud. If you need your data back, the bill should not punish you for recovering it.

Does this work on Intel Macs?

Yes. Universal binary, notarized, macOS 13 and up. Apple Silicon and Intel both.

How do I install it?

Download macup directly, open the Mac app, and let it live in the menu bar. It is notarized for macOS, so your Mac can verify it before it runs.

Put your Mac backup somewhere safer than your desk.
