KMS principles of operation
KMS works with encryption capable tape drives, AdvancedDisk, PureDisk, and Cloud Storage. KMS is integrated into NetBackup in such a way so as to eliminate difficulties in using NetBackup from a system management perspective. KMS provides encryption key management for tape drives with built-in encryption capabilities. These tape drives adhere to the SCSI standard. A SCSI command enables encryption on the tape drive. NetBackup accesses this capability through the volume pool name.
