Turn on encryption feature after I created the first backup unencrypted

Thread needs solution

When I configured my full image backup, I forgot to select the "Encrypt" option, so my first backup was not encrypted. I thought I could go back in and add encryption for subsequent backups, but I'm not finding the option to encrypt. Am I not looking in the right place for the "Encrypt" option? Do I need to delete and recreate this backup with the "Encrypt" option and run it again?

I am not seeing a response to this question, but I also have the same question.  Applies to both local backups and cloud backups.

A new task needs to be created for your backup. Then you will be able to enable encryption. Adding encryption to an exisitng task is not possible.
