Drag the cursor anywhere
Pick any snapshot — to the minute. The file panel below shows what was on disk at that moment.
Every snapshot is a full moment
Each row is a complete state of your data — not a delta. Restore from any one without unwinding the next.
No card required
Find it the way you know it.
By path
Drill down through folders and restore the backed-up version you need.
By search
Search backed-up paths and filenames so you do not need to remember exactly where a file lived.

Disaster recovery
Your new Mac, with your work back.
If the worst happens — theft, flood, or a Mac that will not boot — restore backed-up work to a new Mac. Sign in. Enter your passphrase. Pick a date. Hit restore.
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.
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.

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 available snapshots can be restored there.
What about full-disk restore?
Mac restore rebuilds backed-up user data and supported app state from a snapshot. 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.
