Decrypting Backups

Veeam Backup & Replication automatically decrypts backup files stored in repositories using passwords that you specify when adding these repositories to the backup infrastructure. If you do not specify decryption passwords, the backup files remain encrypted.

To decrypt the backup files, do the following:

1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the Home view.
2. Navigate to Backups > External Repository (Encrypted).
3. Expand the backup policy that protects an AWS resource whose image-level backup you want to decrypt, and select the backup chain that belongs to the resource. Click Specify Password on the ribbon.

Alternatively, you can right-click the necessary backup chain and select Specify password.

4. In the Specify Password window, enter the password that was used to encrypt the data stored in the target repository.
