Yester docs

Everything Yester does, in plain words. Start at the top if you are new, or jump to restoring if you need a file back.

1. Getting started

   Install Yester, sign in, give it access, save your recovery key and let the first backup run.

2. How backups work

   Hourly snapshots of your whole Mac, what is included, what is left out, and how versions are kept.

3. Restoring a file or version

   One restore screen, go back to a day you remember, pick the version that looks right, restore it or save a copy.

4. Restoring a whole Mac

   Bring everything back to a new or wiped Mac, with an external drive and Migration Assistant, or by signing in and using it after ten minutes.

5. External drives

   Archival backup for drives at £6.99 per TB a month — backed up daily, kept while paid, recent files instant and older ones in up to 12 hours.

6. Security and the recovery key

   Everything is encrypted on your Mac with a key only you hold. What the recovery key is, where to keep it, and what happens if it is lost.

7. Plans and history windows

   Yester, Yester Pro and Yester Max differ only in how far back you can go — 90 days, 1 year or 5 years. Priced per Mac by built-in storage.

8. Billing and refunds

   One subscription per device, card at signup, full refund within 60 days, 90-day grace after cancelling or a failed payment.

9. FAQ

   Short answers to the questions people ask before, and just after, they install Yester.
