VMware vSphere • Re: Encrypting backups on Wasabi

Back when I worked for service providers, I'd always recommend the customer encrypt their own backups, even if we had the capability to do so. When you encrypt your backups the encryption is in your control. When another entity (Wasabi, etc) encrypts your backups you're trusting them to do that for you.

Additionally, if someone gets access to your Wasabi account somehow, they could gain access to your backups by connecting another VBR server to that bucket. If you control your own keys they would have to not only gain access to that bucket, but also the encryption key you used.

Control your own destiny is my advice.
