NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Set a passphrase for disaster recovery

During a catalog backup, NetBackup creates a disaster recovery package and encrypts the backup with a passphrase that you set. The constraints for the passphrase can be changed with the NetBackup APIs or the CLIs (nbseccmd -setpassphraseconstraints).

See the information for disaster recovery settings in the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

To set a passphrase for disaster recovery

  1. At the top, click Settings > Global security.
  2. Go to the Disaster recovery tab.
  3. Enter and confirm a passphrase.

    Note:

    The passphrase should meet any additional constraints that you may have set. You can verify the additional constraints using the nbseccmd command or the passphrase-constraints web API.

  4. Select Save.
