Encrypt the vault
Off = restores on any PC with no key (best for recovery). On = drive contents unreadable if stolen.
AES-256
Hide the vault when idle
Advanced — keeps the vault in a locked container. Leave off unless asked; it isn't needed for protection.

Excluded folders
These are always skipped automatically (for safety and to keep the vault small) — they can't be removed:
🔒 Windows system files 🔒 Installed programs (Program Files) 🔒 Temporary files & caches 🔒 The vault's own folders & decoys 🔒 Developer build folders
Add any other folders here that you don't want backed up:
