Available on iOS and Android
NullVault supports encrypted backup on iOS and Android through different platform flows: encrypted iCloud backup with a per-vault recovery phrase on iOS, and a portable encrypted file with a separate backup phrase on Android.
The feature
Keep a recoverable encrypted copy without treating cloud storage as an unlocked photo library.
On Android, NullVault creates a portable encrypted package before handing it to the compatible storage destination you select. That destination may be local storage or a document provider with its own synchronization and retention behavior.
The backup is not a normal plaintext gallery. A restore needs both the valid encrypted package and its matching backup recovery phrase.
A recovery phrase is key material, not a compressed copy of the library. Portable Android recovery needs both its separate backup phrase and the encrypted backup file that contains the protected data.
Keep the encrypted package and its phrase in different safe locations. Duress and panic wipe affect future local access but do not remove exported backup files.

Clear answers
No. NullVault creates a portable encrypted package rather than exporting the vault as a folder of plaintext photos and files.
No. The phrase does not contain the vault's media and files; clean-install recovery also needs a valid matching encrypted backup.
No. Exported encrypted backup files are separate copies and are not deleted by the local panic-wipe or duress action.
