Hi @M.Mamdouh -

Yep, that is expected behavior for encryption. If you restore using the SAME VBR server you used to create the encrypted jobs, you will not be prompted for a pwd. You are only prompted if a backup file is attempting to be restored from a different VBR server than where the job was encrypted at. You can read more about that behavior in the User Guide.

If you were to import that backup into another VBR server then you would be asked for the encryption password since that server does not have it stored.  Like Shane said it is as expected.
