Configuring standard encryption on clients

This topic describes how to configure standard NetBackup encryption.

The following configuration options are in the bp.conf file on UNIX clients, and in the registry on Windows clients.

The configuration options are as follows:

  • CRYPT_OPTION

  • CRYPT_KIND

  • CRYPT_CIPHER

You can also use the NetBackup Administration Console to configure the options from the server. They are on the Encryption tab in the Client Properties dialog box.

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for details.
