VSS backup and security when converting over the network

$

Hello

 

I am remotely converting machines, from a live "hot" XP box.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on security "over the wire" here?

 

There seems to be no documentation discussing any security/encryption of data that is backed up via VSS, and SMB isnt encrypted by default IIRC. Backup shares required at both ends is obviously an issue, but password protected in theory (and practice in this case).

 

The only other part that could play a role would be the software you are using, i.e. VMware converter, so does that have any security/encryption added during its conversations over the network?

 

Regards

Ben
