Stop 04 · Backups that happen while you sleep

A safe depot where every device parks overnight

A safe depot where every device parks its backup nightly.

Buses do not sleep on the street, and your devices should not hold your only copy. Depot Backup gives every laptop and phone a parking bay. Each night, during the window you choose, the device pulls in, unloads what changed, and goes home with a clean bill of health.

On board

What you get at this stop

1

A bay for every device

Register laptops, desktops and phones once and each gets its own backup history you can browse by date.

2

Nightly by default

Pick a quiet window and backups run on their own, resuming if the machine was asleep or offline.

3

Whole device or chosen folders

Back up everything for peace of mind, or just the folders that matter and skip the rest.

4

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Data is protected on its way to the depot and while it sits there, built with encryption from the first byte.

5

Only the changes travel

After the first full pass, the depot only collects what is new or modified, so nightly runs stay quick.

6

A morning report

Get a short summary of what was parked, what was skipped and anything that needs your attention.

Questions about Depot Backup

What if my laptop is closed during the backup window?

The backup is simply postponed. As soon as the device is awake and online, it heads to the depot and catches up.

Does the first backup take long?

The first pass copies everything you selected, so it takes the longest. After that, only changes travel and nightly runs are much shorter.

Can I back up a phone as well as a laptop?

Yes. Phones park their photos, videos and documents in the depot just like computers park their folders.
