About configuring standard encryption from the server

You can configure most NetBackup clients for encryption by using the bpkeyutil command from the server.

Prerequisites include the following:

  • The NetBackup client software must be running on the platforms that support NetBackup encryption (see the NetBackup Release Notes).

  • The NetBackup clients must be running the required NetBackup version.
