If you are unable to supply the key when requested to do so, you or a support engineer will not be able to
access the encrypted data.
It guarantees the security of the data, but also means that you must manage the encryption keys
carefully.
WARNING:
Keep a record or backup of the encryption keys and store it in a secure place separate from the
computer running the backup software.
