Compression

On the Compression page, you can configure the compression and encryption settings.

Encrypt the zip files

No encryption

The zip files created are not protected by password for unauthorized access.

Standard encryption (Zip2 compatible)

This is the standard Zip 2.0 encryption: an older encryption technique that provides relatively weak security compared to AES encryption. Zip 2.0 encryption format cannot provide protection from individuals with access to specialized password recovery tools. Its advantage over AES encryption is the compatibility with all third party zip applications.

Set password

After you press this button, a windows with the following fields will appear:

Manually enter the password you want to use for your zip files in this field

Re-enter the password in this field to avoid typing errors.

This field is enabled only when the backup job already has a password. You can change the password only if you enter the old one in this field. This way only the owner of the backup will be allowed to change the password.

The system makes it possible to set different passwords for the same backup job, so the backup may contain zip files with different passwords.
