To protect your data, you can opt to insert a password and encrypt the backup archive/s.

 

 

WinBackup has three levels of security

a) Low (Password Protection): This level of security will not allow you secure your data simply by setting a simple password.  In order to restore your data or browse in the back archive, you must enter the correct password.  This option does not encrypt your data.

 

 

We advise to use a password that is at least 30 characters long. Use a sentence that is easy for you to remember and difficult for others to guess. A good password is made up of letters and numbers. Keep in mind that you will not be able to restore a backup if you forget your password.

 

 

b) Medium (Simple Encryption): Encryption safeguards your backup data from being accessed maliciously either through WinBackup or by using other software. The Medium setting places a 128-bit strong encryption level to your data. This setting requires a password to encrypt the data. This password must then be keyed in on restore.

c) High (Strong Encryption):  Strong encryption provides the very best security level, designed for corporate users with highly sensitive data. The AES 256 bit encryption level cannot be hacked into or allow anyone to access your data without the specified password. This is highly recommended for the corporate or Internet based user.
