    Export Encryption Keys

    The backup data generated by Cloud Backup for Google Workspace is encrypted. If you have chosen our Data Export Service, the encryption keys are necessary when converting encrypted backup data into readable content. Note the following:

    - By default, exporting encryption keys is not available to organizations using AvePoint-provided default storage. If your organization uses AvePoint default storage, contact the Support Team to enable this feature if needed. - You must export encryption keys before leaving this product, as you will lose access to the product’s interface once your subscription ends.

    To export encryption keys, follow the steps below:

    1. Navigate to Settings > General > Encryption keys.

    2. Before generating encryption keys, you must first set a password for encryption keys and click Apply to apply the password. The password is used to access the encryption keys when restoring exported data via the standalone tool.

      If your subscription is the BYOS type, you can also configure whether to allow Cloud Backup for Google Workspace to copy the encryption keys to your BYOS storage weekly.

    3. To generate and download the encryption keys for the service types for which you have performed a backup, click Generate to generate the key, and then click Download to download the ZIP file and save it to your local computer.

      If you have performed backups or updated the password after the last time you generated the key, click Regenerate to regenerate the keys and download the file again.
