Hi,

Longhirn support currently S3 as backup datastore.

> **[Longhorn | Setting a Backup Target](https://longhorn.io/docs/1.0.0/snapshots-and-backups/backup-and-restore/set-backup-target/#set-up-a-local-testing-backupstore)**

Do you have an idea how to ensure we use encryption either SSE or KMS keys? As this is big requirement from security teams.

Thanks for you help.

You can use the encrypted volume currently.
