It is usually advisable to change your Encryption Key
periodically. Your Encryption Key is literally the key to your data.
It is used to lock up your data so nobody else can see it, and like
a regular key, if you forget it, you may not be able to recover your
data. When you change your Encryption Key, write it down in
a safe place. If you forget it, you may not be able to recover your
data. There are two ways to change your Encryption Key. The
first is to select a word or phrase that you can remember. For rules
on selecting your encryption key, see the section on Selecting Your
Encryption Key. The second way is to let Remote Backup generate a key
for you. Remote Backup has a way to automatically generate "statistically
perfect" encryption keys - the most secure keys. If you want the
very highest security, do not pick your own key. Allow Remote Backup
to generate it for you. The way Remote Backup generates a key depends on which
encryption standard you have chosen.
