How To Determine if Encryption Was Used
Verifying whether or not an Acronis 2014 tib backup file is password protected is easily determined by attempting to open the file. However, even if the file has a password, that does not tell if the file is also encrypted using one of the three AES methods. After creating the backup task, but before running the actual backup for the first time, the encryption status is shown in "Advanced_Options_Before backup.JPG" Look at the top line - Backup protection.
"Advanced_Options_After backup.JPG" shows the advanced backup options after making a backup. The top line, Backup protection, is missing. Therefore whether or not the file is encrypted cannot be determined. The Backup protection line is always missing after a backup - regardless of whether or not a password was used or a File or Disk backup was made.
Does anyone know how to find the encryption status of a tib backup file?
