===== Problem Description =====
<html>
After creating a backup set of any type, using the AddBackupSet.do JSON API with DEFAULT encryption setting:
 <br/>
 <br/>
 API call: AddBackupSet.do
 <br/>
 <br/>
 JSON Post:
 <br/>
 <br/>
 {
 <br/>
 "SysUser":"system",
 <br/>
 "SysPwd":"system",
 <br/>
 "LoginName":"username",
 <br/>
 "BackupSetName":"backupset_name",
 <br/>
 "BackupSetType":"FILE",
 <br/>
 <font color=#FF0000>
  "EncryptionType":"DEFAULT"
 </font>
 <br>
 }
 <br>
 <br>
 When accessing the backup set via the AhsayOBM user interface, user is prompted to enter the encryption key of the backup set:
 <br/>
    <img style="width:75%; border:thin solid black" src="http://wiki.ahsay.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=public:5183_0.png"/>
<br/>
 Note:
 <br/>
 When a backup set is created with the default encryption setting, the encryption key will be a random generated key of 44 alpha numeric characters, that is unknown to the user until he / she can access the backup settings to retrieve the key.

===== Cause =====
<html>
This is a known issue with AhsayCBS, AhsayOBM and AhsayACB version 7.7.2.24.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Only CUSTOM encryption setting / no encryption is properly supported by the AddBackupSet.do JSON API.
