Scrambling

The scrambling form of encryption is designed to store your data in a form that is not readable, to provide you with a certain amount of security while minimizing computation time.

Encryption Occurs as part of the Backup Process

Backup for Workgroups performs the encryption process as the files are backed up at the Client side.  The Backup Client software encrypts the backup data prior to sending this information to the Storage Location.  As a result, the data transmitted from the Client computer to the Backup Server is encrypted and protected.  This prevents line sniffers from seeing the original backup content - protecting both you, your organization and your data.  The Backup Server then stores the encrypted backup data on the hard drive storage device of your choosing.
