The backup cannot be performed because ‘ENCRYPTION’ was requested after the media was formatted with an incompatible structure.

If the certificate ever becomes unavailable or if you must restore or attach the database on another server, you must have backups of both the certificate and the private key or you will not be able to open the database. You should immediately back up the certificate and the private key associated with the certificate. Warning: The certificate used for encrypting the database encryption key has not been backed up. If you try, you will receive below error. But restoring encrypted backup to an instance of SQL Server Express or SQL Server Web is supportedĥ) Backward compatibility, Previous versions of SQL Server cannot read encrypted backupsĦ) Server on which Encrypted backup going to restore, Master key & Encryption certificate need to existsħ) Appending new backup file to an existing backup set is not supported for encrypted backups. Web and Express edition does not supported this featureģ) VIEW DEFINITION permission required on the certificate or asymmetric key that used to encrypt the database backupĤ) SQL Server Express and SQL Server Web do not support backup encryption. This feature is going to reduce your complexity.ġ) TDE(Transparent Data Encryption) is different from backup encryptionĢ) Native backup encryption available only in Standard, Business Intelligence and Enterprise Editions. Currently backup encryption supporting four encryption algorithms: AES 128, AES 192, AES 256, and Triple DES (3DES).Ĭurrently, User are using TDE or 3rd party software only to encrypt there database backups. Microsoft reveled this upcoming feature in PASS summit & from then users are waiting for this. A brand new & long awaited feature “Backup Encryption” along with SQL Server 2014.
