Product strategy specialist, Rick Vanover, said that functionality became a priority for CloudConnect in Availability Suite v8. <\/p>\n
\"A lot things had to happen to make CloudConnect work, and adding our own encryption helped with that,\" he said. <\/p>\n
Vanover said it was not enough simply to add encryption as a checkbox on the product to say it also encrypts data. <\/p>\n
\"We did it to help protect people against losing their password,\" he said. <\/p>\n
If the password to the encrypted data is lost, that typically means that the data is already lost. <\/p>\n
What Veeam has done is add a mechanism to CloudConnect that can recover the encrypted data even if the password is lost. <\/p>\n
\"It does not necessarily mean people need to stop managing passwords correctly, but it something goes wrong we have a way,\" Vanover said. <\/p>\n
