Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about zero-knowledge encryption, Secure Vaults, and autonomous backup.

How does zero-knowledge encryption work in dewDrive?+

All your files and snapshot blocks are encrypted client-side on your local machine using AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 before they ever touch your Secure Vault or cloud storage provider. Neither dewDrive servers nor storage providers (AWS, Wasabi, Backblaze) ever receive your master keys or unencrypted data.

What is a Secure Vault in dewDrive?+

A Secure Vault is an encrypted, deduplicated storage target powered by production-grade engines (Restic or Kopia). A Secure Vault can reside on local NVMe/SSD storage, an NFS/SMB network share, or any S3-compatible cloud object store.

Can I bring my own S3 storage bucket?+

Yes. dewDrive gives you total storage autonomy. You can connect any AWS S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, or custom S3-compatible storage endpoint with zero markups or lock-in.

How does the Time Machine disaster recovery cockpit work?+

Time Machine is an isolated, visual restoration cockpit. It lets you browse historical snapshot timelines across all connected nodes, preview files without restoring, and execute zero-collision point-in-time restores with a single click.

What operating systems are supported by dewDrive?+

dewDrive provides native, high-performance desktop clients and lightweight daemon services for macOS (both Apple Silicon ARM64 and Intel x86_64), Windows 10/11 (64-bit), and Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, AppImage).

What is included in the 24/7 Cloud RMM hardware monitoring?+

The dewDrive agent continuously monitors disk SMART telemetry, SSD wear levels, process health, memory pressure, and snapshot consistency, dispatching alerts before drive failure occurs.
