During the Installation of Mamut Teamwork, you will be asked to create your own Mamut Key. If you shall restore data from your machine with the help of Restore, you must know about this specific key.
The Mamut Key is not the same as the password to the system. The password is used to login, but cannot be used to restore/collect together data that has been backed up.
If you use multiple machines in the same office, each machine must have its own key.
The Mamut Key is an encryption/decryption key. We recommend that you use a Mamut Key-phrase instead of a simple password, given that the longer the key-phrase, the more secure your Mamut Key will be. Feel free to combine the phrase with numbers for an even higher level of security. However, regardless of what you choose as your Mamut Key-phrase, it is important - extremely important - that you will remember it! Mamut Teamwork's security solution is built on the fact that you, and only you, will have access to your own data. If you forget your Mamut Key-phrase no-one, not even a security expert at Mamut, will be able to retrieve your Mamut Key.
The Mamut Key must be at least 10 characters.
You can also create your own Mamut Key, when you invite others to receive files from you. In this way, you are able to secure easy transmission, at the same time you do not need to give the key for your remaining backup copied files.
When you shall use Send, Stream or Share, the Mamut Key must be at least 6 characters.
Look after your key. We recommend that you do not use your own standard key when you shall send files to others. Therefore, it can be smart to create a system before you start, then you can maintain a system with the keys you use for different tasks.
