I am using it on some smaller servers.  Works fine, no errors, and able to
restore to both the server the backup came from, and other servers, as long
as the key is there, and the passphrase is the same.    Performance was
inpacted some.  CPU was up, and about an increase of about 35% in time to
back up.  That was with the default encryption type (AES-128-CFB).  When I
switched to Blowfish...there was a HUGE impact on performance.  Not so much
difference in CPU use, but in length of backup time.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU Encryption Option



We're interested in adding the encryption option for Netbackup, and was
hoping to hear back on anyone's experiences, good or bad?

 

Thanks,

            Tristan.
