Data upload speed
When you archive data to Acronis Cloud, you can change the connection speed used by Acronis True
Image 2017. Set the connection speed that will allow you to use Internet without annoying
slowdowns.
To set up the connection speed, select one of the following options:



Maximum (available for online backups only)
This option significantly speeds up the upload process, but at the same time the Internet
connection speed decreases for other applications. The optimization mechanism splits the data

target Acronis data center, the split data is assembled back to the initial state, and then stored in
the cloud storage.

6.4.2 Archive encryption
To protect the archived data from unauthorized access, you can encrypt the archive with
industry-standard AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) cryptographic algorithm with a 256-bit long
key.
Note: You cannot set or change the archive encryption option for a pre-existing archive.
To encrypt an archive:
1. When configuring the first archiving process, click the Settings icon, and then click Encryption.
2. Enter the password for the archive into the corresponding field, and then click OK.
We recommend that you use a password longer than seven symbols and containing both letters
(in upper and lower cases preferably) and numbers to make it more difficult to guess.
A password cannot be retrieved. Please memorize the password that you specify for an archive
protection.
