Resolved Why does Plesk ask to add a password to an already encrypted backup?

[xgiovio]

Hello, I set up the server-wide backup settings.
I understand that it will encrypt only plesk passwords and it's ok.
Now, i click download on the full backup and it prompts to insert a password to protect the passwords inside the backup.

I navigate inside the local dump folder and inside the xml backup file i can see that the passwords are encrypted.

Now my question is: Why does Plesk ask to add a password to an already encrypted backup?
Thank you

When you download backup, if the backup has not been protected with a password from server-wide backup settings, Plesk will prompt you to do so.
If it is protected already, you can just clear the "Use password protection" checkbox.

thanks. So the correct answer should be:
When you download a backup the server asks always to enter a password.
If your backup is already encrypted, you can uncheck the box to leave the same password.
If your backup is already encrypted and you want to change the password, you can then insert a new password.
If you backup is not encrypted and you want to encrypt it, you need to insert a password
If your backup is not encrypted and you don't want to encrypt it, you can uncheck the box( This of course allows you only to import the downloaded backup on the same plesk installation, otherwise all passwords will be resetted.)
