Changing Your Encryption Key

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.

Note: All of Remote Backup's encryption standards may not be available in your version of Remote Backup.
