Archive protection

This option is effective for Windows and Linux operating systems and bootable media.

This option is effective for both disk-level and file-level backup.

The preset is: Disabled.

To protect the archive from unauthorized access

Select the Set password for the archive check box.

In the Enter the password field, type a password.

In the Confirm the password field, re-type the password.

Select one of the following:



Do not encrypt – the archive will be protected with the password only



AES 128 – the archive will be encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
algorithm with a 128-bit key



AES 192 – the archive will be encrypted using the AES algorithm with a 192-bit key



AES 256 – the archive will be encrypted using the AES algorithm with a 256-bit key.

Click OK.
