2.5 Managing Tier Encryption
Acronis Storage can encrypt data stored on disks with the AES-256 standard, so if a disk gets lost or stolen the
data will be safe. Acronis Storage stores disk encryption keys in cluster’s metadata (MDS).
Encryption can be enabled or disabled only for the newly created chunk services (CS). Once tier encryption
is enabled, you can decrypt disks (CSs) by manually releasing them from encrypted tiers. Correspondingly,
simply enabling encryption on the disk’s tier will not encrypt it’s CS. To encrypt a disk, you must assign it to an
encrypted tier.
Note:
1. Acronis Storage does not encrypt data transmitted over the internal network.
2. Enabled encryption slightly decreases performance.
