See Scheduling a backup.

Table: Encryption type options

Option

Description

No password and no encryption

Creates the recovery points without any password protection or encryption. Use this option only if you store your recovery points in a location that is not shared with anyone.

Anyone who can access the recovery points can restore from them or view their contents.

Password protected with AES Encryption

Lets you set a password on the recovery point when it is created. Passwords can include standard characters. Passwords cannot include extended characters, or symbols. Use characters with an ASCII value of 128 or lower. Only the users who know the password can restore from or view the contents of the recovery point.

Encrypts recovery point data to add another level of protection to your recovery points.

Choose from the following encryption levels:

  • Standard 128-bit (8+ character password)

  • Medium 192-bit (16+ character password)

  • High 256-bit (32+ character password)
