Although all data is transmitted via a secure connection and stored encrypted on our servers anyway, you have the option to define your own encryption key (AES 128, AES 192, or AES 256). This ensures that nobody except you can access your data.
All data is encrypted with a hash of your chosen key before transmission. Only after encryption, the data is sent to our servers. This provides double security.
The key used to encrypt the data is not stored anywhere on your or our systems. Only a hash is calculated using the CBC method, which is used for data encryption. However, decryption of the data using this key is impossible (Asymmetric encryption).
When encryption is activated, your data can only be decrypted using your password. The password cannot be changed on an active backup plan.
Important: Keep your password in a safe place. If the password used for data encryption is lost, there is no way to recover the data!
When encryption is activated, increased resource consumption should be expected, as the backup client encrypts all data with the «public» key before transmission. AES 128 bit requires the least resources, while AES 256 bit encryption means the highest resource consumption.
