In the "Storage Account", under the "Consistency Check" tab, under the "Run consistency check for both formats: new and legacy" option, there is a "specify encryption password" checkbox.
What is it for? Why would one need a password to check consistency? :confused:
Right. but with or without entering the password, it doesn't seem to change a thing. It still says "completed" after running the consistency check (no error message). And the logs still say "PL] [11] WARN - Cannot load plan name CBB_Configuration\23e7a2e3-8a22-4409-923c-4a68b354356e.cbb as file is encrypted"
Yes I just checked, correct encryption password, but the consistency check doesn't seem to do anything.
Is it because I switched the backup encryption to AES256?
"Comparing files. Currently compared 0": The number 0 doesn't change at all during the whole consistency check process.
However, the consistency check always results in a "success" with or without password...
I'm not sure. You changed the backup algorithm to AES-256 from what? When you enable or disable encryption, then the product needs to perform a new, full update of all data the next backup execution. If it was disabled and you enabled encryption, did you run a backup yet?
You can submit them to Support, but they cannot be posted here on the forums. If you have not run a backup yet, then there is no data to run a consistency check against, so I would not worry about that option until you've run the first backup. Please report back once you do that.
1- I made the change (from AES128 to AES256)
2- I ran the backup a few times
3-I tried multiple times to run a consistency check (with and without the password)
