About NetBackup client encryption

The NetBackup client encryption option is best for the following:

  • Clients that can handle the CPU burden for compression / encryption

  • Clients that want to retain control of the data encryption keys

  • Situations where the tightest integration of NetBackup and encryption is desired

  • Situations where encryption is needed in terms of a per client basis
