Hello,
With Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE edition, I wonder if there’s a way to test the encryption key? I tried removing job but when restoring it still didn’t ask for password.
And, can I re-add job after removing it or add the current jobs to another PC?
Thanks

I believe you can test this when you use the recovery media ISO file and direct it to the backup files. It should then prompt you for the encryption key for the backup files used in the job.

+20Data Decryption doesn’t require you to enter a password if you use Encryption on the same device as where you Encrypted, which it appears you are doing, as noted in the Decryption section of the Guide here. Decryption happens “auto-magically” 🙂
+20I don’t think I fully understand your question about the Backup Job. You are wanting to move or copy the job to another computer? From the User Guide , I didn’t see anything referencing being able to move or copy a VAW job from one computer to another, or how to “export” then “import” a job.
+20I found this Configurator Reference , which may allow you to do what you’re wanting. I believe you’d need to install VAW on another computer, then you can import the XML file to:
C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Endpoint\!Configuration\ . BUT...I recommend you test it out before doing so on your “main” (prod) computer first...if you have a test device to do so on.
