The value for the parameter @Encrypt is not supported - SQL Server 2025 #972
Description
I have just downloaded the SQL Server 2025 Standard Dev Edition RTM as a testing platform and when trying to run the backup tasks we are getting the error "The value for the parameter @Encrypt is not supported." and a failure of each backup job. We are running the latest version of the Maintenance Solution
