Yes, you can only do this, but only while configuring the backup. If you have already configured the backup without encryption, you must drop it and configure a new one again to set your own encryption password, by uninstalling C-Cloud (Make sure the Keep C-Cloud settings (Recommended if you want to reinstall) option is not selected) → Reinstall it and reconfigure your backup.

Also, if you are a C-Cloud Business user and want to set your own encryption password, and you have a policy assigned to you, then let your admin enable this option for you by doing the following:

  1. Sign in to your C-Cloud online account.
  2. Refer to the Polices tab.
  3. Create a new policy or edit the existing one.
  4. Go to the Settings tab.
  5. Under Security Settings, check the box next to the option Allow user to set encryption password before initial backup.
  6. Save the changes.

After that, in order to set your encryption password:

  1. Download C-Cloud setup and then install it.
  2. Sign in to your C-Cloud account or sign up for a new account if you are a Home user and this is the first machine that you are backing up.
  3. In the third step in the backup creation wizard, click on Change beside the Security Options.
  4. From the opened window, select Use my own password.
  5. Enter the password and repeat it in the Confirm Password field.
  6. Save your settings.

Make sure to store your encryption password in a safe place since you will not be able to recover your files if lost.
