Encryption questions for EXPORT NODE

[bvillega]

Hello All,

I have been reading about encryption and I have a few questions.

We don't neccessarily want to encrypt the data that is being backed up and/or archived every day. Once a month, we export the data (using EXPORT NODE) that has been archived from a server into a tape and send it off to another location for importing (IMPORT NODE)

We would like to be able to somehow have the data on that tape encrypted. I noticed the following on the EXPORT NODE command :

ENCryptionstrength

But reading at the description it does not seem like it would be for encryting all of the exported data (filespaces).

Any other way I could accomplish this?

If I cannot find a way to do it with the EXPORT NODE command, I was wondering if there is anyway to add the encryption options to the command line instead of to the dsm.sys since I don't want to encrypt all of the time but only one time when I need to do the export.

Thanks in advance,

BV

bvillega-

I believe the encryption process is done at the time of the backup/archive process.
Once the data on the non-encrypted tapes, you will need to migrate the data from
the non-encrypted tapes to encrypt tapes.

The encryption is done at the drive level.

Hope this information explain what you need to do.

Thank you. Our drives doen't support encrytions. At least I don't think so.

We currently using the TS3500 with 1120 drives from IBM...they work wonderful.
Check with your IBM sale rep...

Good luck
