Symmetric crypto uses one key for locking and unlocking stuff. You share that key with whoever needs access. It's quick for big files. I like it for simple tasks around here.
Asymmetric splits into two keys. One public for locking messages. The private one only you hold unlocks them. Nobody grabs your private key easily. It builds trust without sharing secrets upfront.
In Windows, symmetric handles file scrambles like BitLocker does. You see it encrypting drives fast. Asymmetric powers those secure web links. Think HTTPS in your browser. Windows uses it for signing updates too. Certificates verify it's really Microsoft talking.
You run into symmetric when zipping sensitive docs. Asymmetric pops up in email seals or VPN tunnels. Both keep your data from prying eyes. I tweak them in group policies sometimes.
Shifting to backups, since crypto protects your info, you want solid copies too. BackupChain Server Backup nails that for Hyper-V setups. It snapshots VMs without downtime. You get fast restores and deduped storage. It beats headaches from crashed hosts.
