Automatic Backup Encryption

DineshK

Hey hi, 

         Solarwinds is taking backup configuration of the nodes automatically using NCM and storing it in a separate folder, while opening the configuration, it is visible to everyone, right? How to take a backup from the nodes by encrypting? What does it mean after the backup of the nodes? If we open it, should it be encrypted or hashed? It could not be visible to everyone

The configs are not stored encrypted and there is no built in functionality to make them encrypted, you should be limiting access to those drives to only people who would already have admin permission in Orion so they effectively already have full access to your hardware.

Further, those text files are not actually the configs as you see them in the web interface.  They are just intended as a very old school plain text backup, what you see in the UI is stored in the NCM database tables.
