Backups & restore points · Encryption and passphrases

Can a backup that saved still be flagged as a passphrase problem?

Short answer: No. Once a version is written to the destination, it's shown as saved and simply re-checked next run, even if the follow-up check was interrupted. A passphrase warning means the destination really couldn't be opened.

No. Once a version has actually been written to the destination, Storage Studio won't report that backup as a passphrase problem — even if the safety check that runs right afterwards gets interrupted.

Instead it shows the backup as saved and re-checks it on the next run. If you see a passphrase warning, it means a backup genuinely couldn't open the destination, and Re-enter passphrase… is the fix.
