Re: Problems with encrypted backup

Hi Brian,

I think that include.encrypt only tells tsm client to encrypt certain files; 
but not to backup.
So I think that beside include.encrypt you still need include statement.

In your dsm.opt sample in first try you just have include.encrypt and than 
exclude on the top of the file, so nothing gets backed up.

In second dsm.opt you replaced include.encrypt with include, so everything 
(selected folders) was backed up , but not encrypted.

Just try to put something like:

include  c:\folder\...\*
include.encrypt c:\folder\...\*

and I'm almost sure it will work; and files will be encrypted.

Let me know

Hi,

 The filespace was empty in both situations - that's why I find it confusing. I 
can try to do it on another node (tomorrow), and then enable some logging in 
the dsmc client - to see what exactly is going on....

Did you delete the filespace before doing the FIRST incremental?  It
looks like you were doing an incremental incremental there and not a
full backup like you were doing in your second run.

The problem is when the encryption on, the amount of data should be the
same
as when it runs without encryption - or have I misunderstood something
?

If I make a backup of a node without encryption, and it sends e.g. 20
GB of data - the the amount ought to be the same, if I delete all data
on the TSM server, and then tries to do the exact same backup with
encryption enabled (of course remembering to change the client dsm.opt
file and restart the dsmc application)

Regards,

Brian

Problems with encrypted backup






Hi,

I've tried to solve this issue before without luck. I'm trying to make
a
backup with encryption on a new node/client. The node is registered on
the
server, and the first login from the node (using dsmc and a simple
dsm.opt
file only specifying the nodename, passwordgenerate and the server)
has
been made (where it asks for nodename and password). Then I quit dsmc
again.

My first backup dsm.opt file (with encryption)

NODENAME TSM-MYTEST1
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
TCPSERVERADDRESS 172.16.7.136
DOMAIN D:
schedlogretention 15
DateFormat 2
COMPRESSION ON
Encryptkey Save
EXCLUDE *
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\Network Trash Folder\...\*"
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\TheFindByContentFolder\...\*"
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\ThevolumeSettingsFolder\...\*"
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\Temporary Items\...\*"
INCLUDE.Encrypt "D:\BilledArkiv\...\*"
INCLUDE.Encrypt "D:\Bogholder\...\*"

I assume, that I have to set EncryptKey to SAVE - otherwise the
scheduler
won't be able to make backups.
A backup using these options and running "dsmc i" gives this result:

Total number of objects inspected: 149,290
Total number of objects backed up: 25,189
Total number of objects updated: 0
Total number of objects rebound: 0
Total number of objects deleted: 0
Total number of objects expired: 0
Total number of objects failed: 0
Total number of bytes transferred: 8.40 MB
Data transfer time: 0.49 sec
Network data transfer rate: 17,247.31 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate: 21.27 KB/sec
Objects compressed by: 0%
Elapsed processing time: 00:06:44

If I then change dsm.opt to the options below (thereby removing
encryption):

NODENAME TSM-MYTEST1
PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE
TCPSERVERADDRESS 172.16.7.136
DOMAIN D:
schedlogretention 15
DateFormat 2
COMPRESSION ON
EXCLUDE *
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\Network Trash Folder\...\*"
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\TheFindByContentFolder\...\*"
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\ThevolumeSettingsFolder\...\*"
EXCLUDE.DIR "D:\BilledArkiv\Temporary Items\...\*"
INCLUDE "D:\BilledArkiv\...\*"
INCLUDE "D:\Bogholder\...\*"

And delete the old data in my TSM Server (using "del filespace") - and
then makes a new backup using "dsmc i" - the the result is:

Total number of objects inspected: 149,290
Total number of objects backed up: 144,088
Total number of objects updated: 0
Total number of objects rebound: 0
Total number of objects deleted: 0
Total number of objects expired: 0
Total number of objects failed: 0
Total number of bytes transferred: 87.28 GB
Data transfer time: 1,394.87 sec
Network data transfer rate: 65,618.49 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate: 5,848.74 KB/sec
Objects compressed by: 11%
Elapsed processing time: 04:20:49

What is going wrong ?? The TSM server is running 5.2.2.3, and the
client
is 5.2.0.6 ...
