Endpoint Data Security

Hello @renny 

From Veeam Agent:

From VBR:

The comments made by others are valid if you’re backing up to a service provider, but encrypting a backup for an endpoint protected by VBR won’t prevent the administrator from accessing the files within the backup.

Should you wish to prevent the backup administrator from reading the data, you’d do similar to preventing a normal administrator from reading sensitive data, you’d use encryption on the files in production such as EFS. This is done prior to your backups.

Sounds like you’re doing this from the agent instead of managed by VBR, it’s in the backup job creation, in the storage section, under the advanced subsection:

Can the title of this question be changed? The title of this question was actually pointing to file system encryption and this is evident from @MicoolPaul answer! I am glad you could still get the right answers!
