Is backup data stream encrypted when sent across the network?
Is the username and password used by vRanger encrypted?
The backup data stream is encrypted during backup for the vRanger HotAdd and SAN transports. Please note that the network-based backup transport (LAN) is by default not encrypted, but the backup job can be configured to use encryption.
The service account used by vRanger to connect to VMware vSphere environment uses SSL encryption.
The account used by the vRanger services (Windows-based account) uses Windows/AD encryption.
