2 Creating a Bare Metal Restore job

The new version of the Cloud Backup service requires an encryption password to be assigned when creating a job.
This password is essential for performing a full or partial restore and must be the same as the one set when the job was created.
Store the password in a secure location: if it is lost, it cannot be recovered under any circumstances.
