In the absence of a passphrase, Lifecycle Controller encrypts the backup image file with a default passphrase (internally generated). 5. In the Backup File Passphrase field, enter a passphrase. For example, Rt@#12tv. NOTE: A valid passphrase contains 8-32 characters. It must include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, and must not have white spaces. The passphrase is optional and if used for backup, it must be used during restore. 6. In the Confirm Passphrase field, re-enter the passphrase and click Finish.
