Network Encryption
Encrypt data while transmitting it through networks to enhance security. Typically, the encrypted data transfer can lower the data transfer speed. Select Yes to enable the encrypted data transfer. Or, select No to transfer data without encryption.
Encrypt Data
Specifies if the data written to tape is encrypted. This option does not relate to data transport. If network transport encryption is important, use the Network Encryption option.
No data encryption | Data is not encrypted at the device server. |
Encrypt data at the device server (primary and twin tape) | Data is encrypted at the device server of both the primary and twin tapes. Hardware compression does not matter if same tape model/media is used. |
Encrypt data at the device server (primary tape only) | For the primary tape, data is encrypted at the device server. Hardware compression does not matter. |
Encrypt data at the device server (twin tape only) | For the twin tape, data is encrypted at the device server. Hardware compression must be disabled during original backup job. |
Encryption Type
Encrypts transmitted data at the hardware device.
Software | Encrypts data while it is being transmitted through the network. |
Hardware | Encrypts data at the tape device. |
