create a password on the created backup

[alemmsm]

Hello and respect

Please provide the possibility to create a password on the created backup in the next update of Direct Admin
For those who save the complete backup on another server and thus have more security
It is very interesting to set a password for backup when creating a full backup (admin/backups/scheduled).
When restoring the created backup, ask the user for the password
And the created backup file should never be opened without a password.

thank you

This feature already exist but is for some reason disabled by default.
Go to Admin Backup/Restore and click on Backup/Restore settings.
Then under the directadmin.conf part check the allow_backup_encryption setting. (Then wait 1/2 minutes for the setting to take affect.)

Now when you create a backup or change existing backup schedules you can set a backup password in step 3.
