Abstract
One example method includes obtaining hop information of a metadata path for backup metadata, obtaining content sensitivity information indicating a relative sensitivity of backup data to an attack, based on the hop information and the content sensitivity information, selecting an encryption to be applied to the backup metadata, and applying the encryption to the backup metadata. The backup data may be encrypted with the same encryption algorithm that was used to encrypt the backup metadata.
