Managing Backup Encryption

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can personalize your protection settings through encryption of backup data, password management, and restoration from encrypted backups.

By using the Backup Encryption feature, you can encrypt the following:

  1. Product workloads’ backups

  2. System configuration stored as a self-backup and used in the scope of system migration

  3. File System Indexing (FSI) data stored on the Director

The product offers an efficient password management dialog box, so that you do not need to enter your password every time you restore encrypted data.

AWS KMS is highly recommended as an additional layer of protection and to restore the password hash in case you forget it.
