Error message I don't understand

I just installed Duplicati and got the following error message: Unencrypted database. The database is not encrypted. This is a security risk and should be fixed as soon as possible.

I looked at the referenced documentation page but I don’t really understand this, nor how to execute the commands. Is database encryption necessary? I run Duplicati from a PC to a local harddrive and my PC is encrypted (Bitlocker). I may also run backup to the cloud later.

Can anyone explain to me in layman’s terms what I need to do?

Best regards and thanks, Jan
