About recovery point encryption You can enhance the security of your data by using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to encrypt recovery points that you create or archive. You should use encryption if you store recovery points on a network and want to protect them from unauthorized access and use. You can also encrypt recovery points that were created with earlier versions of Symantec LiveState Recovery or Norton Ghost. However, encrypting those files makes them readable with the current product only. You can view the encryption strength of a recovery point at any time by viewing the properties of the file from the Recovery Point Browser. Encryption strengths are available in 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit. While higher bit strengths require longer passwords, the result is greater security for your data. The following table explains the bit strength and required password length. Table 6-7 Password length Bit strength Password length 128 (Standard) 8 characters or longer 192 (Medium) 16 characters or longer 256 (High) 32 characters or longer You must provide the correct password before you can access or restore an encrypted recovery point.
