Limitations

In this article, you will learn about the functional limitations of encrypting backup copies in AES-CBC 256 mode.

Selecting the highest encryption mode—AES-CBC 256—provides the strongest level of cryptographic security. When enabling it in GitProtect, you will notice the following warning message:

Alert displayed after selecting AES-CBC 256 encryption mode.

This information simply indicates that a high level of encryption may affect backup or restore times. The process of encrypting and decrypting data depends on the available resources of the device performing the backup or restore operation.
