About data encryption for cloud storage

You can encrypt your data before you send it to the cloud. The NetBackup Cloud Storage Server Configuration Wizard and the Disk Pool Configuration Wizard include the steps that configure key management and encryption.

NetBackup uses the Key Management Service (KMS) to manage the keys for the data encryption for cloud disk storage. KMS is a NetBackup master server-based symmetric key management service. The service runs on the NetBackup master server. An additional license is not required to use the KMS functionality.

See About key management for encryption of NetBackup cloud storage.

More information about data-at-rest encryption and security is available.

See the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide for more information.:
