BitLooker new feauture in v.9

Post by tinto1970 »

Hi all,

i've almost finished my smooth upgrade to v.9.

There is a point slightly unclear to me: the new feauture BitLooker (page 101 in the user guide).
Release notes say "it's enabled by default for new jobs, in existing jobs it is disabled....".

Can we simply enable it in desired jobs, or there is some action required? I.E. performing an active full on first run, etc etc.

I guess there is nothing to do, but i'm not 100% sure.

Hello, once enabled, it will work from the next backup. Active Full is not required.

Hello guys,

I also enabled BitLooker in my existing backup jobs. But i can't see anything in the logs, like that BitLooker is active and did his thing. Where can i check if BitLooker is working fine? Isn't there any message how many megabytes or so BitLooker skipped?

Thanks!
Best regards,
Karl

You can check by reduced amount of data transferred and backup file size. There's no message in the job session log for that.
