Backup Reminders and the Backup Drill

Gentle nudges so a backup is there when you need it.

HypaVault reminds you to back up when your last backup is more than 14 days old. Once a vault holds 20 items, the app offers a one-time backup drill to prove a backup opens.

The drill is worth doing once: it shows that a backup of your vault really opens, before the day you need it.

A backup only helps if it's kept off the phone and you still have the vault's recovery phrase. Save each new backup somewhere other than the phone it came from.

  2. No. HypaVault never saves a backup anywhere by itself. You make each one with Back Up Now and choose where it goes, whether that's Files, a computer or a cloud drive you pick.

  3. No. The weekly spot check decrypts a random sample of stored pieces on the phone and reports any damage, while the drill proves that a backup file opens.
