remove password protection from backup plan options

Thread needs solution

I have created a backup plan with password protection enabled, but now I want to remove the password protection. When I go to backup options in the existing backup plan, Archive Protection is not listed, but if I start a new plan, "Password Protection" IS listed in the options.

Is there a way to remove archive password protection from a backup plan after it has been created? Or is the only way to create a new backup plan without password protection?

Hello Adam M,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you.

Once you have created one backup with password protection, there is no way to disable this for this archive. You need to create a new archive with a new name where you can backup without password protection. 

This feature works like described for security reasons. Otherwise anybody with access to the backup plan could simple disable the protection by unchecking this option.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
