3.2.1 Data encryption in Acronis True Image Online
To protect your data on the online storage from unauthorized access, you can use encryption. In this
case your data will be stored on the online storage in encrypted form. To encrypt and decrypt your
data, the program needs the encryption key, that you should specify when you register your
computer. An encryption key is a unique alphanumeric code, like a password. You can specify any set
of characters you like. Note that the key is case-sensitive.
An encryption key cannot be retrieved. Please remember the key that you specify during your computer
registration.
While attempting to access the encrypted data, the program asks you to enter the encryption key.
3.2.2 Why does the program ask for the key
The program will ask you to enter the encryption key when it needs to be used for decrypting the
backed up data from the selected computer on the Online Storage. You will not be able to access the
data until you provide the correct key. To access the data, type in the encryption key and click OK.
