Maximum number of Encryption passwords

Post by clovis »

Hi, just a quick question.

Is there a limit on the number of encryption passwords can be stored in the VBR password manager, as we have a customer with a requirement of 1000-2000 as they want an option to encrypt every VM with a different password. Also this means we would need the same number of jobs, so is there a limit on backup jobs too?

We are of course advising against a different encryption password for every VM, as it will increase backup sizes massively because deduplication will be enable to save space, let alone the administration headache.

Thanks

I wouldn't recommend such an approach either. Though there's no actual limit for the number of jobs, managing 1000 jobs would be hell and could put significant load on the UI. I'm also checking regarding the passwords number limit.
