Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Backup copy encryption

Happy to shed some light on the matter!

I would set it in the UI as it's best practice, but there is additional registry value to force that the datamover agent traffic is always encrypted: post294901.html#p294901

Name: ForceAgentTrafficEncryption
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 (default) - not forced, respects the UI rules, 1 - Forces datamover traffic to always be encrypted
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication on Veeam Server

I'm not confident the caution in the linked topic is as relevant anymore regarding performance drops (just haven't seen/heard of anything significant on this in awhile), but there may still be some drop. I would advise test first from the UI on specific networks, and if everything looks good, test with the registry value.
