How it works.
Install on your Mac
Get Backup Disk from the Mac App Store and choose the folders you want to protect.
Install on iPhone or iPad
Open Backup Disk on your iPhone or iPad. Your Mac appears automatically on the same network.
Sync with one tap
Tap Sync All. From then on, only changed files are copied, so later backups take seconds.
Hundreds of thousands of files.
No problem.
Copying many small files is slow on every network. Backup Disk packs them into large bundles first, so modern Wi-Fi can run at full speed.
Packaged transfer
Small files travel together in big packages, which cuts network overhead and makes the most of Wi-Fi 6.
Incremental by design
Backup Disk detects what changed since the last run and syncs only that. Your regular backups finish in moments.
Wi-Fi or cable
Work wirelessly on the same network, or plug in for the fastest possible transfer.
Secure by default
Backups live inside the iOS file system, protected by your passcode and Face ID. A lost phone doesn’t expose your files.
No cloud required
Your data goes straight from your Mac to your device. Nothing is uploaded and there’s no storage plan to pay for.
Your important files, in your pocket.
iPhones and iPads have fast, high-quality storage that is always with you. Backup Disk turns that spare space into a reliable second copy of your work.
