Within Networker, at the client, you can COMPRESS, or you can ENCRYPT, but you cannot chose to do BOTH. If you need to do both, then your best best is to COMPRESS via Networker, then use a hardware-b

I would say that using a tape drive to to both the encryption and the compression is better still. The LTO-4 can give extremely good compression at the same time as encrypting. I know that opinion di

On this subject. Any additional costs with using Networker software encryption? Any issues with scanning in a tape that was encrypted with networker and recovering the data? Thanks EDWARD COTY LEAD S
I have never tried scanning in a tape that was encrypted with NetWorker; however, since the tape labels aren't encrypted, I would be surprised if scanning in such a tape was a problem. The encryptio
We are using Quantum's encryption key manager, Q-EKM. It's a relabel of IBM's EKM. It's fairly straight forward to set up and once installed, it's mostly a "set it and forget it" system. Make an occ

Maybe already obvious, but in case you didn't read the fine print in the Networker docs I'll repeat it here: You can do Networker-based data compression, or Networker-based data encryption, but not b

Hi, How much overhead in terms of capacity will occur when encryption is on ? << / >> + aes: *.* We have LTO-3 tapes (400/800 GB) in the library with active compression but the tape with enrypted dat
What do you mean by "hidden?" You're taking data and expanding every byte of it when you encrypt it, so there certainly will require more overhead on the client who's data is being encrypted and mor
Correct. Encrypted data cannot be compressed. You may be able to use client-side compression to compress first, then encrypt. But you cannot encrypt first then compress. Compression works by recogniz

The folder capacity on the client is 6.74 GB ( ~ 7237019893 bytes ) I ran mminfo -q volume=<volumename> -r "ssid,totalsize" to get the saveset size on the tape and got the same result. Is it somethin
What are you referring to? No, this is very reasonable. The size of a saveset should be approximately equal to all the data. It might be a little bit different depending on how directories and metada

No, it refers to the stream that arrives from the client. If you use a compression directive instead of encryption, you should see it appear smaller. -- Darren To sign off this list, send email to li
No, it won't. It'll be roughly the same size. -- Darren To sign off this list, send email to listserv AT listserv.temple DOT edu and type "signoff networker" in the body of the email. Please write to
