Securing Backups in Remote Storage With a Password

You can secure backups stored in remote storage with a password. Doing so encrypts the passwords stored in the backup, such as mail account passwords or database user passwords. Even if a third party obtains a backup, they will not be able to get the passwords stored inside.

When you restore a password-secured backup, you need to provide the password. If you cannot, all passwords stored in the backup are generated randomly.

To secure remote storage backups with a password:

  1. Configure at least one remote storage.

  2. Go to Websites & Domains > the subscription > Backup Manager > Remote Storage Settings. The section “Backup security settings” has become available.

  3. Under “Password Protection”, click the “change” link next to “Disabled”.

  4. Select the “Use password protection (recommended)” checkbox.

  5. Type in the password in the corresponding fields.

  6. Click OK.

Now all backups stored in remote storage will be secured with the password.
