View the DTE-specific attributes of a NetBackup image and an image copy
Primarily, the global DTE mode and the client DTE mode decide whether the data-in-transit encryption takes place or not for a backup operation. If the data is encrypted during a backup operation, the DTE mode attribute of the associated NetBackup image is set to On.
If based on the global DTE mode and the client DTE mode, the data cannot be encrypted, the DTE mode attribute of the image is set to Off.
See Modify the DTE mode on a backup image.
An image copy has two DTE-specific attributes:
Copy DTE mode | Specifies whether the data is transferred over a secure channel when the current image copy is created. |
Copy Hierarchical DTE mode | Specifies whether the data is transferred over a secure channel when the current image copy and all its parent copies in the hierarchy are created. If the data is transferred over an insecure channel when one of the parent copies in the hierarchy is created, the current copy's hierarchical DTE mode is set to Off. If the copy hierarchical DTE mode is Off, the copy is said to be insecure. It indicates that any parent copy in the hierarchy can be compromised and copying from a compromised copy is not secure even if the current copy is generated securely. |
Note:
The image DTE mode is always shown as Off if the media server is earlier than 9.1. Copy DTE mode and Copy Hierarchical DTE mode are always shown as Off if the media server is earlier than 10.0.
RESTful API to be used to view the image attributes:
GET - /catalog/images
GET - /catalog/images/{backupId}
To view the DTE attributes of an image and an image copy using the NetBackup web UI
- Sign in to the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, select Catalog.
When you search for backup images, the image list displays at the bottom of the screen. The DTE-specific attributes of the image and the image copy - Image DTE mode, Copy DTE mode, and Copy Hierarchical DTE mode - are also displayed.
To view the DTE attributes of an image and an image copy using the command-line interface
- Use the following commands: bpimagelist, bpclimagelist and bpimmedia.
For more details on the commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
To view the DTE attributes of an image using the NetBackup Administration Console
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, see the following reports to verify the DTE mode (Data-in-transit encryption column) of the image:
NetBackup Management > Reports > Images on Media
NetBackup Management > Reports > Tape Reports > Images on Tape
NetBackup Management > Reports > Disk Reports > Images on Disk
