Encryption properties
The Encryption properties control encryption on the currently selected client.
Multiple clients can be selected and configured at one time only if all selected clients are running the same version of NetBackup. If not, the Encryption properties dialog box is hidden.
More information is available in the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
The Encryption permissions property indicates the encryption setting on the selected NetBackup client as determined by the master server.
