Step 4: Security code


Set a security code that will be used to encrypt your data. It can be any word or sentence of your choice. Using this secret code, you can encrypt your files with a strong encryption algorithm, therefore keeping your private data protected from unauthorized access. The most important challenge is finding the best code, the one that you can remember but that no one else knows or can guess.


Additionally, you can choose a preferred data encryption method (AES-128, AES -256 or Blowfish-448). AES-128 is the predefined data encryption method in the Backup Manager.


Important: You must remember your security code. It will not be possible to access your backup data without it or to re-install the current Backup Manager device.
