If you want encryption over the wire then use it. It will impact the
performance of your backup. You'll also have to do compression at source as
well. You'll have to compress first and then encrypt. Hardware compression
is useless when you encrypt as you no longer get a steady stream of like
bytes.
 
If you want to encrypt data being written to a backup device, then use
hardware devices such as Neoscale (my favourite) and Decru (now owned by
Netapp). Neoscale is my favourite as it is application aware.

All,

I am looking at using the encryption that comes with Networker 7.3. Any
thoughts on this would be appreciated.
