Enabled 

Use Encryption lets you encrypt backup files against unauthorized use. For maximum 
protection, StorageSync uses the 

Advanced Encryption Standard

 (AES) Rijndael (FIPS 196) 

algorithm to encrypt files. Enabling this setting allows you to specify the encryption key 
length. You can choose key lengths of  128, 192, and 256 bits. When this setting is enabled, 
the same password used to encrypt backup files will be required when restoring the files. For 
more information about this process, refer to “Restoring Encrypted Backup Files” on page 54.

If you try to open an encrypted file outside of StorageSync (for example, by using 
Windows Explorer), the information in the file is rendered unintelligible.

  Settings: Disabled (default) 

Enabled 

File Revision lets you backup multiple versions (or “revisions”) of the same file. If you 
enable this option, you can save up to 20 revisions of the same file. When you restore a file 
that has been backed up using the file revision option, StorageSync lets you select the 
particular file you want to restore. 

By default, File Revision is disabled. To use it, you must upgrade to the Professional Edition. 

 

If you backup more than 20 revisions of a file, StorageSync automatically deletes 
the file with the oldest revision to make room for the file with the newest revision.
