It can be used with any backup software product. However, NetWorker
does
not have any facilities to manage keys. If you use suitable hardware
to
control the encryption you can set the drives up to use encryption and
it will be transparent to NetWorker. I have used it and it works fine.
I know of these separate KMSes, but was wondering if anyone knew of
plans for basic functionality in Networker (a la NetBackup 6.5.2).
I work in a smallish department, and I have neither the budget nor the
time to get one of these. I just want to click a check box and have my
offsite backups of company source code and the customer database
encrypted. (I would simply need to make sure my encryption key
database is backed up separately, in the clear.)
Personally I think this is a common use case, and am hoping that it
becomes available in the base Networker software (or a modestly priced
option?).
