Encrypting agent snapshot data

The Core can encrypt agent snapshot data within the repository. Instead of encrypting the entire repository, it allows you to specify an encryption key during the protection of an agent in a repository which allows the keys to be reused for different agents.

To encrypt agent snapshot data:

  1. From the AppAssure Core, click Configuration → Manage → Security.
  2. Click Actions, and then click Add Encryption Key.
    The Create Encryption Key page is displayed.
  3. Complete the following information:
    Field
    Description
    Name
    Enter a name for the encryption key.
    Comment
    Enter a comment for the encryption key. It is used to provide extra details about the encryption key.
    Passphrase
    Enter a passphrase. It is used to control access.
    Confirm Passphrase
    Re-enter the passphrase. It is used to confirm the passphrase entry.
    NOTE: It is recommended that you record the encryption passphrase, as losing the passphrase makes the data inaccessible.
