Hello,
I've currently had a customer who does TSM backup over WAN link with backup-archive client encryption enabled. They are simply sending plain TSM communication through internet, just securing the data with "include.encryption" rule.
Is it a pure madness or a minor security risk? When I saw such configuration I couldn't believe it.
I have never used encryption in TSM though, so maybe when it is enabled, the control information is secured too, but I wouldn't guess so...
Thanks for any comments.
