4.2.1 Data encryption in Online Backup

To protect your data on the online storage from unauthorized access, you can use encryption. In this

case your data will be stored on the online storage in encrypted form. To encrypt and decrypt your

data, the program needs the encryption key, that you should specify when you register your

computer. An encryption key is a unique alphanumeric code, like a password. You can specify any set

of characters you like. Note that the key is case-sensitive.

An encryption key cannot be retrieved. Please remember the key that you specify during your computer

registration.

While attempting to access the encrypted data, the program asks you to enter the encryption key.

4.2.2 Why does the program ask for the key

The program will ask you to enter the encryption key when it needs to be used for decrypting the

backed up data from the selected computer on the Online Storage. You will not be able to access the

data until you provide the correct key. To access the data, type in the encryption key and click OK.
