 * Hi,
 * I am using updraftplus free version for backup and restoration.
    I did complete
   manual backup of site. If later on I use restoration feature then will it ask
   for database decryption key ? If yes then where I find that key ? While taking
   backup I have not encrypted it as I got no such option.
 * Thanks
    Nitish

 * Hi Nitish,
 * No, it will not ask for decryption key unless you have encrypted the database.
 * Kind Regards,
    Bryle
