Definitions
Encrypting backup data so that stored copies remain protected if backup media, repositories, or cloud storage are exposed or stolen. Strong backup encryption matters especially because backups often contain concentrated sensitive data.
In plain English: Protecting backup data by encrypting it.
Example: "The audit flagged missing backup encryption on a legacy offsite archive process."
