Resolved Backup passwords

[thinkingcap]

How does the download backup password differ to the "Backup Settings" password?

Thanks

Hi thinkingcap,

from my point of view, the documentation is pretty clear:

=> Uploading, Downloading, and Removing Backup Files​

Before downloading the file, Plesk will prompt you to protect the backup with a password. Doing so encrypts the passwords stored in the Plesk database. This way, even if the backup file falls into the hands of a third party, they will not be able to obtain the passwords stored inside, as restoring a password-protecting file without providing the correct password results in all passwords being generated randomly. If you do not want to protect your backup with a password, clear the Use password protection checkbox.

If you have further questions, pls. don't hesitate to specify it.
