Note
Only backup folders are passphrase protected.
If the folder group is passphrase protected, you can change the passphrase. A folder group that is passphrase protected has this information displayed when you mouse-over the folder group to the right of the folder group name.
Warning
Changing the passphrase for a folder group will cause all devices using folders in the folder group to be unable to backup files, until the backup service has been re-configured with the new passphrase in the devices administration interfaces.
To change a passphrase:
- Select Folders > Folder Groups in the navigation pane.
The FOLDER GROUPS page is displayed.
- Move the mouse over the folder group row and when the mouse hovers over the row the folder group is identified as being passphrase protected, as in the following example.
- Click the folder group.
- Click Change Passphrase.
The Change My Passphrase window is displayed.
Your Old Passphrase – The folder's old passphrase.
Your New Passphrase and **Confirm New Passphrase **– Anew passphrase.
Passphrase Strength – Displays the passphrase's strength. - Click FINISH.
- Do one of the following:
- If cooperative deduplication is enabled, the default, you must update the passphrase on all devices using this folder group.
- If cooperative deduplication is disabled, you must update the passphrase on the device associated with this folder group, to enable the device to access the folder.
