Encryption

[WORKS2019]

If I ran a full backup and the backup cycle's been running for a day or two is it possible to add encryption after it's been running without? Or do I have to start a new backup cycle and encrypt from the start?

During testing I just answered my own question. The following screen pops up after encrypting after a backup cycle has already been running, "If encryption is enabled the next backup will be active full. Process anyway?"

My understanding is this creates a new full backup, encrypted and incremental from this point on will be encrypted as well. Prior are not.

Thought I'd share rather than delete the post.

Hi RJ, your observations are totally correct. Encryption takes effect after the next active full.
