 * Hi,
 * i am a **Pro Gold customer** from Germany and have two questions and maybe one
   please.
 * 1.) SFTP/SSH password is **not encrypted** in the database. If I get hacked the
   hacker has access to all my backups (all 50 or 100 websites). The hacker would
   be able to access my NAS 🙁 I cannot create an account in my NAS for every website.
 * 2.) Why can’t I encrypt a backup in this day and age? After all, all the data
   of a website is stored in a backup. If necessary, one would like to and must 
   store the data on Dropbox or Onedrive, which is then with the DSVGO “data protection”
   in Europe a big problem.
 * It would be very nice if the support could say something here, or even better,
   to implement this, to build in.
 * Best regards
    Marcus

 * Hi [@marcus2907](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcus2907/),
 * The Pro version does have an encryption mechanism in place for passwords and 
   we have plans for an overall encrypted archive. Since this is a Pro query could
   you please submit this to our ticket system at [https://snapcreek.com/ticket](https://snapcreek.com/ticket)
   or email [support@snapcreek.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicator-making-safer/support@snapcreek.com?output_format=md)
   and we’ll elaborate further and get your requests into our backlog.
 * Cheers~
