I addressed device encryption settings in post #10.

The device encryption is independent of backup encryption by Link.

I don't believe there is an option in Link to backup without Link encrypting the backup file (regardless of the device encryption setting). That is, so far as I know, Link encrypts by default with no option to turn off encryption of the backup file.

(As I recall, the old BBOS desktop software did have an encryption option for the backup file. I remember looking for such a switch in Link when I first switched to BB10 and not finding one.)
