Disabling Backup File Encryption

[sconley]

If backup file encryption is disabled, will a full backup be required so that the entire chain going forward will not be encrypted?

[Gostev]

Yes, active or synthetic full backup is required, otherwise we would have to recreate the already created [encrypted] backup files in the current chain. Thanks!

Sort of related: I assume the same would be true if switching from per-VM backup files as well in order to generate a single monolithic full backup file?

[Gostev]

That is correct.
