Backups & restore points · Encryption and passphrases
Does my passphrase change if I move a backup set to a new destination?
Short answer: No. The passphrase belongs to the backup set, so it stays the same when you choose a new destination — the sheet says it's using the set's existing passphrase. Changing it is a separate step.
No. The passphrase belongs to the backup set, not to the destination, so it stays the same if you later point the set somewhere else. When you choose another cloud destination, Storage Studio shows "Using this set's existing passphrase."
Changing the passphrase itself is a separate, deliberate step — see changing your passphrase.
