Veeam Agent V6 and V13 - Encrypted in Transit?

[mike.anderson]

Hi All,

I have a customer that is asking about Veeam Agent data being encrypted in transit. I've looked through the Veeam guides for Agent, and this forum and can't find much beyond a single post from 2015 saying if it was going to a Veeam repo the data would be encrypted in transit.

This client is using v6 and v13 agents to go to Veeam Cloud Connect mostly.

I found this page in the agent guide that talks about using TLS to validate the thumbprint, although it doesn't specify which version of TLS:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/agent ... tml?ver=13

It also mentions how to encrypt the data at rest, but not in transit.

Here the Cloud Connect guide reinforces this:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/c ... tml?ver=13

Is there anywhere where it states that agent backups are encrypted in transit and what scenarios it might be encrypted? Also, what encryption protocol does it use?

Thanks in advance!
