RE: [RavenDB] Question about encryption and existing databases

[Federico Lois]

The usual procedure to clone a database without downtime is replicate into another database. Then you just change the endpoint and you are done. We typically use two servers to do that, havent done it on a single server but i dont see any major issue there. Havent used encryption, so I will leave that for someone else.

Subject: [RavenDB] Question about encryption and existing databases

Hi,

We have just purchased standard RavenDB licenses with the encryption module.

We currently have existing databases and would like to encrypt them without losing any data...is this possible? As far as I can see we need to create a new database for encryption to be enabled.

Would it be possible to export the database, add server wide encryption and reimport the database?

Also, if we were to use server wide encryption where do we get the encryption key from and where do we store this?

Many thanks,

Darren
