When things go wrong — FrameVault is built for that day

Photographers don’t lose images because they’re careless.

They lose them because real shoots, real hardware, and real deadlines create situations where traditional backup tools quietly fall apart.

These are situations working photographers recognize immediately — not edge cases, not hypotheticals — and how FrameVault keeps them from turning into disasters.

What is FrameVault?

FrameVault is a desktop photo backup and recovery application for photographers. It automatically protects RAW files, preserves real folder structure, and allows instant, selective restore on Windows and macOS.

It is designed around recovery — not just storage — so you can get your work back in usable form when something breaks.

Your external backup drive dies the night before delivery

Mechanical drives fail. SSDs fail. Even RAID arrays fail. Many cloud backups restore slowly, throttle bandwidth, or require waiting days for a replacement drive to arrive.

How FrameVault handles it:

New RAW files are backed up automatically as soon as they hit disk
Your shoot structure is preserved exactly as it existed
You can restore the entire session immediately into any location you choose
No waiting on shipments, no downtime, no guesswork

You accidentally delete a client gallery or overwrite edits

Batch operations, sync conflicts, and muscle memory mistakes happen — and many tools can’t roll back a single folder without restoring everything.

How FrameVault handles it:

Browse your backed-up folder tree exactly as it existed before the mistake
Restore only the affected folder or files
Your original hierarchy comes back cleanly, without flattening

Your laptop is stolen or won’t boot after a shoot

Losing the machine is bad enough. Losing the work that was on it is worse — especially while traveling or between manual backups.

How FrameVault handles it:

Watched folders were already backed up in the background
On a new machine, your entire cloud folder tree is immediately visible
You restore the exact shoot with the same structure it had before

Lightroom or Capture One corrupts a catalog before delivery

Catalog corruption doesn’t always destroy images — it destroys the structure your workflow depends on.

How FrameVault handles it:

Your original folder layout is mirrored in the cloud
Restoring into a clean directory does not alter or flatten structure
You get a predictable foundation to rebuild quickly

You’re not sure what was backed up after a long shoot

Most photographers don’t have time to babysit sync tools or read dashboards.

How FrameVault handles it:

Automatic, continuous monitoring of chosen folders
Smart queuing survives reboots, slow connections, and interruptions
Clear in-app usage shows what was uploaded and when

Key point: FrameVault restores into a location you choose and recreates your internal shoot structure inside it — so you get your organization back, not a flat dump of files.
