What happens to the Data for Deleted Backups on Acronis Cloud

Thread solved

I purchased a subscription to Acronis True Image 2020 and I backed up two computers to Acronis Cloud. For one of the two computers, I forgot to set up client-side encryption. I am now performing another backup with client-side encryption enabled. Once that is done, I will delete the other unencrypted backup. Once the old unencrypted backup has been deleted from the Cloud, what is done with the deleted backup data? Is the file deleted in a secure matter?

Joshua, welcome to these public User Forums.

There is no published information on how the Acronis Cloud handles deleted user backup data but I would expect that it would be deleted securely in line with industry standards for data protection, especially with the new GDPR regulations in force in Europe etc.
