Backup encryption

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

You cannot change the backup encryption option for a pre-existing backup.

To encrypt a backup

  1. When configuring the first backup process, click the Settings icon, and then click Encryption.

  2. Enter the password for the backup 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. Memorize the password that you specify for a backup protection.
