How do I know if my backup is in fact encrypted

[Macrodata]

Sorry this might seem stupid. I just started using Duplicacy.

I am using the web UI for Unraid:
https://hub.docker.com/r/saspus/duplicacy-web

When I configured a new storage I was asked to enter a password. I can only assume this was used to encrypt the backup storage.

But what is RSA encryption? Is it used to encrypt the backups or for something else?

Upon restoring from the backup (at B2) I was not asked to enter a password which makes me speculate if the backup is encrypted at all.

It is generally hard to tell if backed up files are encrypted because they are stored in chunks.

The backup is encrypted. The password is cached by web UI in the local file, protected by the app password, so it does not have to ask for it every time it needs to do backup, restore, or pretty much any other operation with the encrypted storage.

You can verify that the storage is encrypted by attempting to setup duplicacy on another machine and attempting to restore: you won’t be able to add the storage or restore without providing original encryption password.

It’s a good idea to go through this exercise, if anything to ensure that you have all the account credentials and passwords available to restore data in case of catastrophic failure

RSA encryption is an asymmetric encryption (as opposed to a single password), it’s a separate feature that allows you to have a pair of keys; one that is used for backup and the other for restore. It may be useful in some scenarios, for example, have multiple machines backup but not have access to restore and therefore read each others data.

Beautiful! Thank you @saspus
