About recovery point encryption
You can enhance the security of your data by using the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) to encrypt recovery points that you create or archive. You should
use encryption if you store recovery points on a network and want to protect them
from unauthorized access and use.
You can also encrypt recovery points that were created with earlier versions of
Symantec LiveState Recovery or Norton Ghost. However, encrypting those files
makes them readable with the current product only.
You can view the encryption strength of a recovery point at any time by viewing
the properties of the file from the Recovery Point Browser.
Encryption strengths are available in 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit. While higher
bit strengths require longer passwords, the result is greater security for your data.
The following table explains the bit strength and required password length.
Table 6-7
Password length
Password length Bit strength
8 characters or longer 128 (Standard)
16 characters or longer 192 (Medium)
32 characters or longer 256 (High)
You must provide the correct password before you can access or restore an
encrypted recovery point.
