Question 4

How does backup encryption work?

Accepted Answer

When you choose an encryption key for your file and database backups, the resulting backup will be encrypted via AES-256 and can only be decrypted using the same key you used.

Behind the scenes, openssl is used take care of the encryption for you. This works best when backups are also streamed ("Backup Streaming" is enabled) since it will happen on the fly and the backup output will not even exist unencrypted at any point in time during backup states transition.

Accepted Answer

The "retention" of your backup is the number of backups we keep in your storage before rotating it.
      Ex: If you have a backup rotation set to 2 for a backup configured to run once a week it means you'll always
      keep the last 2 backups, after the third week the first week' backup will be deleted (aka rotated).
