Where's Option to Encrypt backup?

Thread needs solution

I've been using 2016 for a year, and now want to encrypt my backups to a portable USB drive, but cannot find the option.  I looked in 'advanced,' but there's no option to encrypt/add a password to backup's .  Is that option available, and if so, where?   It was/is available in Acronis 2010.

The option will only appear when you create a new task. Exisitng tasks cannot be encrypted. Try creating a new one and it should appear.

Thanks.  Creating a new 'task' did allow for the encryption option.  The help-file needs updating.  This option was implemented much better in the 2010 version.

 

 

Yes, 2016 is poorly implemented in many respects.
