backup encryption

[leeg123]

Was more of a theoretical question.
Lets support i create a backup job to my internal backup drive, and use storage encryption
Then i create a backup copy job, and also use encryption, and specify a different password.
if i were to perform a direct restore from the backup copy source, would it be aware of this double encrypted backup?
Was gonna just try it myself over the weekend, & was curious if this is even possible to setup.

As far as I'm aware, yes; you end up with double-encryption here. A backup copy, as I understand it, is a backup of a backup, not a copy. Ergo, you end up with two passwords in your scenario. We see this with Tape, where Tape Encryption is encryption on top of the backup encryption.

Hi Lee, data are not encrypted twice, backup copy job decrypts it and re-encrypts with its own key. It is a bit different for tapes since the backup to tape jobs allow double encryption. Thanks!
