I'm using Veeam Agent for Windows in Free Mode, Version 3.0.2.1170, on Windows 10 Build 2004.
Retention is 25 days, active full every Thursday, Schedule is Daily at 10:00, target is a local storage (2nd build in HD).
A few days ago I decided to check out the 'Enable backup encryption' option.
So I hit the checkbox and provided a password. veeam gave a hint, that the next backup will be an active full. Ok.
Next day it performed an active full.
Then I tried to access this backup image but was not prompted for a password. I waited a week until the next scheduled active full but still when I tryed to access this second backup image under encryption, it did not prompt for a password. Strange.
Due to this intransparence I decided to disable backup file encryption again. veeam gave again a hint, that the next backup will be an active full. Ok.
This is two weeks ago. So there have been two scheduled active full backups meanwhile without backup file encryption active. On the system generating the backups I'm still not prompted for a password for recovery.
Now I wanted to access these files on a different system. I copied the whole folder including all .vib, .vbk and the .vbm files to an external disk and plugged it to another system. Guess what, now veeam prompts for the password, no matter which archive I try (encrypted or unencrypted).
So my question is, how can I reset this password to 'nothing' and how-to completely disable backup file encryption?
(Path: Edit Backup Job > Local Storage > Advanced > Storage > Section Encryption, Checkbox unchecked, Password Input Box still shows [To change the safed password, click here])
Help is very much appreciated,
