To access the job encryption options, do the following:
Go to Job Manager in the sidebar.
Open an already existing backup job. Or create a new File backup job, by clicking the New Backup Job button in the upper right corner and then selecting Backup Type File.
Go to the Advanced Options section at the bottom (scroll down if necessary) and expand it. Click the Encryption options header to expand it. Each field and the available choices are explained below.
Encrypt data while transmitting it through networks to enhance security. Typically, the encrypted data transfer can lower the data transfer speed.
Toggle on

Toggle off

If you enclose variables in double quotation marks, those variables are treated as literal values. You can embed the following variables:

%RC
Use %RC to include the return code in the message for this run of the job, when applicable.
To
The email address of the primary recipient of your message. Only one “To” address is permitted.
