Example of verifying an encryption backup

When NetBackup runs a tape-encrypted backup, and you view the Images on Media, you see the encryption key tag that is registered with the record. This key tag is your indication that what was written to tape was encrypted. The encryption key tag uniquely identifies which key was used to encrypt the data. You can run a report and read down the policy column to determine whether everything on a particular tape was encrypted.
