Password Encryption
In Command Prompt, execute Init.ps1 (initial processing script) in PowerShell. The following is an example.
> powershell C:\Script\exe\Init.ps1
A password prompt message is displayed. Enter the user password to log into the vCenter Server specified in the VMBackup.ini file.
When the process ends normally, a Password.txt file is created in the directory where the VMBackup.ini file is saved.
Note
Execute Init.ps1 to update the Password.txt file, when you change the vCenter Server password.
