Password Configuration File Reference
The vbr utility automatically creates the password configuration file to store any saved passwords. Only the database administrator or members of that user's permission group can view the contents of the file. If you alter the file permissions from their default values (xx0), Vertica backup or restore actions fail with an error message.
Vertica creates the password file, even if you do not save any passwords. In this case, the file exists but remains empty. Vertica stores this file in the same location that you choose to save your backup and restore configuration file.
