Backing Up and Restoring Encrypted Data with the Encryption Plugin offers no exclusive backup/restore controls and once set up on a specific client, all backups and restores are performed as normal on their respective APM or Plugin. However, when backing up or restoring encrypted data, a few points should be taken into consideration:
* When a backup is performed, the backup index will not be encrypted.
* Overall system performance will be affected during the backup and restore of encrypted
data, as the encryption/decryption process is CPU intensive.
* An encrypted backup can be restored to either its original location or to a new target
machine. In either event, the Encryption Plugin must be installed on the target machine and
it must be configured as it was when the backup occurred (i.e., in regards to Encryption
Key String, Algorithm and Key Parser fields), or the restore will fail.
