Before saving the changes, you need to provide an encryption key.
The encryption key is created on the first time you save settings after you approved everything.
PLEASE COPY THE KEY AND SAVE IT IN A SAFE PLACE.
This key is required to restore data from backups.
Without it, your data is lost.
After approving the above, you will see this page:

When you choose Backup Type - Encrypted Backups you need to choose where you want to store your encryption key.
