NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

Setting standard encryption attribute in policies

You must set the Encryption attribute on your NetBackup policy as follows:

  • If the attribute is set, the NetBackup server requests that NetBackup clients in that policy perform encrypted backups.

  • If the attribute is not set, the NetBackup server does not request that NetBackup clients in that policy perform encrypted backups.

You can use the Attributes tab of the policy in the NetBackup Administration Consoleto set or clear the Encryption attribute for a policy.

Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for more information on how to configure policies.
