Mark, I´m agree with you, but exists a problem with the HW encryption and this 
problem is that the data cross the network without are encrypted, with the 
encryption module the data are encrypted at the client and cross the network 
without problems but with an important amount of processing power...

Regards,
Nacho

Asunto: [Veritas-bu] RE: NetBackup 5.1 Encryption Option Cost?

Hi Justin,
        I have no idea of the cost to turn this option on, but I do know that 
it will require an enormous amount of processing power and that there is a good 
chance you will see a performance/throughput hit that will be totally 
unacceptable to your backup schedule. 
        I would suggest that you get a demo license to test with before 
spending ANY money on it. 
        There are HW encryption options available (we have one) that probably 
would be more cost effective if you include the added server load required to 
encrypt your data.

Does anyone know what the cost is for this add-on product under 5.1?

It allows multiple levels of encryption, AES 128, 256, Triple DES(?) etc-not 
just the legacy DES 56bit/etc encryption.

Choose an option: 3
Choose an option: q
You have chosen to install these Add-On Products:
        NetBackup Encryption
Is this list correct? [y,n] (y)=20
Enter the license key for NetBackup Encryption or q to skip this
product:
