SafeVault v1.1.0 (superseded - use v1.1.2)
SafeVault v1.1.0
SafeVault v1.1.0 is a storage-safety release for Windows and source installs.
It prevents recovery data from silently defaulting to a large system-drive
vault and gives existing users a verified migration path.
Highlights
- The Windows installer asks for the recovery-data location and recommends a
non-system drive when available. - First-run onboarding exposes the same location and a 10 GB target.
- Recovery Home includes a Storage page with actual use, free space, minimum
latest-version estimates by protected root, and the largest tracked files. - Existing data can be moved with copy, SQLite backup, object verification,
atomic location switching, and optional confirmed source cleanup. - New CLI commands:
safevault storage status,analyze,budget, and
migrate. - Runtime process logs no longer hold the movable vault directory open on
Windows.
Important Storage Semantics
The 10 GB value is a soft target. SafeVault never deletes the final restorable
version of a file to force the vault below that number. If the selected files'
latest recoverable content already exceeds the target, reduce the protected
scope or remove replaceable large data from protection.
Migration does not compress or discard history; it moves the same verified data
to another drive. Reclaiming the original drive requires selecting old-copy
removal and typing MOVE STORAGE.
Upgrade Notes
Existing installations continue using their current data location and existing
configured budget. Open Recovery Home, choose Storage, analyze the current
minimum, then migrate to an empty folder on another disk. Do not manually move
or delete .safevault.
