Archive encryption

To protect the archived data from unauthorized access, you can encrypt the archive with industry-standard AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cryptographic algorithm with a 256-bit long key.

Note: You cannot set or change the archive encryption option for a pre-existing archive.

To encrypt an archive:

  1. When configuring the first archiving process, click the Settings icon, and then click Encryption.
  2. Enter the password for the archive into the corresponding field, and then click OK.

    We recommend that you use a password longer than seven symbols and containing both letters (in upper and lower cases preferably) and numbers to make it more difficult to guess.

    A password cannot be retrieved. Please memorize the password that you specify for an archive protection.
