The Deployment Backup and Recovery tool prints SAS encoded password values in the backupserver.log file. This file is located in SAS-configuration-directory\LevN\Backup\.

In the example here, the SAS encoded password for the sasadm@saspw user is printed in the log as {sas002}1D57933958C580064BD3DCA81A33DFB2. 

For SAS deployments in UNIX operating environments, the backupserver.log file is owned by the account that installed the SAS software. However, for SAS deployments in Microsoft Windows operating environments, SAS^® Deployment Wizard creates default security permissions for some folders and files. Therefore, in Windows environments that have such settings, users other than the user who performed the installation might be able to read the backupserver.log.

The hot fix replaces the SAS encoded password values with masked values.
