Re: [Veritas-bu] Data Encryption - NetBackup 6.5.1
2008-03-11 10:54:05
A lot of people have experiences and if you search the archives, you'll find some reports.
In general, from what I've heard, a small client or 2 when excess CPU capacity is manageable with client-side encryption. Media server encryption isn't all that popular (it's new and pricey) and I don't recall anybody talking about it here.
For larger volumes, a dedicated encryption device is the recommended solution. NetApp, which acquired Decru, is the leading provider (by far). See http://www.decru.com for some more info on these devices. We've got 3 FC520 appliances and they really are sweet. The don't care what OS the client is - they only care that it's NetBackup that's writing the tapes (and a few other backup systems are supported). There's zero load on the clients or media servers, and that's usually a good thing - they don't even know the FC520 is in the middle of the path.

Does anyone have any experience of doing this at both Client and Media
Server level?
Any help / suggestions / pointers etc would be much appreciated.
