NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide

View the DTE mode of a NetBackup job

Primarily, the global DTE mode and the client DTE mode decide whether the data-in-transit encryption takes place or not for a NetBackup operation. If the data is encrypted when a NetBackup job runs, the 'DTE mode' attribute of the job is set to On.

If the data is not encrypted when a NetBackup job runs, the 'DTE mode' attribute of the job is set to Off.

RESTful API to view the DTE mode of a job:

  • GET - /admin/jobs

  • GET - /admin/jobs/{jobId}

To view the DTE mode of a job using the NetBackup web UI

  1. Sign in to the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, select Activity Monitor > Jobs.

    You can see the Data-in-transit encryption column that determines the DTE mode of the job.

To view the DTE mode of a job using the command-line interface

  • Run the following command:

    bpdbjobs -dtemode Off|On

    The command lists the jobs according to the DTE mode that is set.
