would like to get an idea on how I can setup a low cost AES 256 encryption on
Backup Exec. It can be software or hardware based. Any assistance would be
appreciated.
The current versions of Backup Exec support software-based encryption with the
usual cpu-hit caveats. You can also go with something like a Decru
DataFort - there is a SCSI variant as well as fibre variant. We use a
bunch of these in front of our LTO-3 drives.
If cost is the primary factor, then the software approach
might be the cheapest. Depending on how many drives you have, it might
also be cheaper to replace a single LTO-2 with an LTO-4 although then you don't
think you get backwards read-compatibility for your LTO-2 tapes.
Lots of options...
