+IMPORTANT: Backup the Encryption Secret
+###############################################################################
+Encryption has been enabled for your Longhorn volumes. To avoid losing access to your encrypted volumes, it’s crucial to back up the encryption secret.
+
+To backup the encryption secret, use the following command:
+
+kubectl get secret {{ .Values.persistence.encryption.secretName | default "longhorn-crypto" }} -n {{ include "release_namespace" . }} -o yaml > encryption-secret-backup.yaml
+
+Store this file securely, as losing this secret will result in permanent data loss for encrypted volumes.
+

 Longhorn is now installed on the cluster!
 
 Please wait a few minutes for other Longhorn components such as CSI deployments, Engine Images, and Instance Managers to be initialized.
