We understand that some customers prefer to encrypt their backups but when your backup is encrypted Keepster can't 'see' it. If you choose to use Keepster you will need to unencrypt but we have done everything we can to make you feel comfortable that your security and privacy are our top priority. Starting with, when you import your messages the backup that is created is fully local which means that those backed-up messages are only on your computer and not on any of our servers, and can only be accessed by you.
Only when you start to organize messages in folders will those messages in folders be synched to our server and encrypted. If you would like to move forward with Keepster here's a possible option:
- Unencrypt and make a backup using iTunes or Finder.
- Complete the Keepster backup.
- Organize important messages into Keepster folders.
- Delete your Keepster backup.
- Encrypt and create a new backup using iTunes or Finder.
This will result in your important messages being saved in Keepster folders, and synched to our encrypted servers. The Keepster local backup will have been deleted and the Apple local backup will be back to encrypted.
