Personal encryption of Veeam Agent Backup

Post by PDCIT »

Hi
Is it possible to let users encrypt Veeam Agent Backup to central Veeam Backup Repository with a personal encryption key?
I would like to give a few employees the option of using an encrypted central backup which only can be restored by the user and not by the IT Department.

Currently only possible if backing up to a shared folder (SMB, NFS), USB device or a Veeam cloud backup repository - but not if the target location is a "regular" Veeam Backup Server.

I don't know the reason behind this, maybe there is a technical limitation? (one, I do not understand though)

Correct. When agent is managed by Veeam B&R or use it’s repository as a target encryption password should be managed centrally by backup admin.
