One or the other.  The client in this case would be whichever system
ultimately does the backup.  Media Server Encryption Option provides key
management and compression, which are extremely nice features.  But with
one client, it is not a huge benefit.  If your plan is to add other
clients to be encrypted at some point, MSEO is the right way to go,
otherwise, Client encryption is probably more cost effective.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] encryption and offhost



A quick query. We've been asked to look at encryption for one of our
systems. The client that needs encryption is currently being backed up
with  vss/clariion snapshot integration to off-host backup on the media
server. In this case what would be the process for encryption and
restoring  from  those backups ,? Should encryption be set on the
client, media server or both?

 

TIA
