6.3.1 Archive protection

Password

The preset is no password.

An archive can be protected with a password. To protect the archive data from being

accessed by anybody except you, enter a password and its confirmation into the text

fields. A password should consist of at least eight symbols and contain both letters (in the

upper and lower cases preferably) and numbers to make it more difficult to guess.

If you try to restore data from a password-protected archive, or append an

incremental/differential backup to such an archive, Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise

Server will ask for the password in a special window, allowing access only to authorized

users.

Passwords cannot be set for archives created in the Acronis Secure Zone. To protect such

archives, set a password for the zone itself.

Encryption

The preset is 128 bit.

Once the password has been set, you can choose to encrypt the backup for advanced

security with industry-standard AES cryptographic algorithm. The password is used to

generate a key which may differ in length. There are 4 choices: no encryption, 128, 192

and 256-bit encryption. The more the key size, the longer time to cipher and the greater

is your data security.

6.3.2 Source files exclusion

By default, all files from the selected folders will be included in the archive.

You can set default filters for the specific types of files you do not wish to back up. For

example, you may want hidden and system files and folders, as well as files with .~,

.tmp and .bak extensions, not to be stored in the archive.

You can also apply custom filters, using the common Windows masking rules. For

example, to exclude all files with extension .exe, add *.exe. My???.exe will exclude all

.exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with “my”.
