Question about the key to encrypt the database

Support
1

I’ve been ignoring the warning about encrypting the Duplicati database, but having to decided to fix this, there’s one aspect I’m hoping can be clarified.

The doco notes creating a preload.json file and setting the

“SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY”: “”

But is there an existing that needs to be used?

Or, is whatever I enter in then used for the encryption from that point onwards.

You are correct. Whatever you provide will be used as the key from that point onward.

Outstanding, thanks for the quick confirmation :folded_hands:
