In this tutorial, you will learn how to encrypt the database password in a Plesk backup.

**1**. Log in to your Plesk account.

**2.** Go to **Websites & Domains** > Click on the **Pull icon** > Choose **Backup & Restore**.

**3**. Click on **Remote Storage Settings**.

**4**. On the right side of **Password Protection**, if it displays **Disabled,** click on **change**.

**5**. Checkmark **Use password protection **and enter a password. Then confirm with **Apply**.

Ensure that you store your password in a safe place. You will need it when restoring a backup. If you have forgotten your password or do not enter one, Plesk will restore your backup with a random database password.
