## What is ArchiveVault?

ArchiveVault helps you create a personal, verified archive of your photos, videos, and files on storage you control.
Connect your photo library, choose a backup destination, and ArchiveVault shows what still needs to be protected. Previously verified files are recognized, so future backups focus on new or missing items.
Features:
• Back up original photos, videos, and Live Photos
• Include folders selected from the Files app
• See what is backed up and what still needs attention
• Verify every file after it is copied
• Run an integrity check to find and repair missing or damaged copies
• Review your five most recent backup sessions
• Receive configurable reminders when new media needs backup
• Keep media organized by capture date and preserve selected folder structures  

ArchiveVault performs a one-way backup and never deletes your originals. 
No ArchiveVault account or cloud subscription is required — your archive remains in the destination you choose.
