# Database Encryption

Aptible has built-in [Database Encryption](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-encryption/overview.md) that applies to all Aptible [Databases](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/overview.md) as well as the option to configure additional [Custom Database Encryption](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-encryption/custom-database-encryption). [Application-Level Encryption](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-encryption/application-level-encryption.md) may also be used, but this form of encryption is built into and used by your applications rather than being configured through Aptible.

# Backup Encryption

[Database Backups](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-backups.md) are taken as volume snapshots, so all forms of encryption used by the Database are applied automatically in backups.
