Encryption key is not working when restoring File A and File B now successfully restored.
Will still try with another file later on, but for now I'm pretty sure this is happening
Apologies first! It must have been a combination of several mistakes. The scenario must be like this
- Initial decryption key is actually wrong. That's why when I changed it in the backup plans, it ask
Encryption option has changed. Do you want to rebackup all files with the new encryption on the next run?
[*] I click OK, thinking it will re-backup all previous backup files (At this point, I didn't run any Full Backup)
[*]
First restore attempt still failed - This must be due to no Full Backup run
[*] Create a temporary backup job with a simple password -
Second Restore works fine
- This is where my mistake add up. I didn't delete this backup job, causing the file encrypted with different simple password still (Although the file is still in the coverage of the First Backup Plan)
[*] I run a Full Backup job after this and
Third restore failed for the File that is backed up by the Test backup plan. I didn't realize this because both File reside in the same folder which is being backed up by Original Backup Plan
I deleted the test backup job, edit the original backup job again with the encryption key (No confirmation happened), re-run full backup and now restore success for File A and File B.
Will try with another few more files just to make sure. But as of now, I believe this is what happening!
