   Backup destination	Indicates the default backup location. Or, you can specify your own local or network path for the recovery point files.

   Use password	Sets a password and enables AES encryption on the recovery point when it is created.
   	This check box is selected by default.
   Password	Lets you specify a password for the backup. Passwords can include standard characters. Passwords cannot include extended characters, or symbols. (Use characters with an ASCII value of 128 or lower.)
   	You must type this password before you restore a backup or view the contents of the recovery point.
   Confirm password	Lets you retype the password for confirmation.
   AES encryption	Encrypts recovery point data to add another level of protection to your recovery points.
   	If
   	you upgrade from a previous version to Arctera System Recovery 24.1, for older backup jobs where only
   	password protection is defined, you need to edit the jobs to select the AES
   	encryption level. If you do not edit the older backup jobs, they continue to run
   	without AES Encryption. Arctera recommends that you edit the job and select AES
   	encryption level.
   	Note: If theUse Passwordcheck box is selected, you must define AES encryption.
   	Choose from the following encryption levels:
   	- Standard 128-bit (8+ character password)
   	- Medium 192-bit (16+ character password)
   	- High 256-bit (32+ character password)
   	See Recovery point encryption .
