Defining Backups for NDMP Hardware Encryption

To define NDMP hardware encryption backups:

1. On the Function Tab Bar, select Backup, then click NDMP.

2. Access the Set Encryption Options dialog box. This can be done in any of the following ways:

   • In the Task Panel of the management console, in the Other Tasks section, select Set Encryption Options.

   • In the menu at the top of the management console, select Backup. In the drop down menu, select Set Encryption Options.

   • In the Enterprise tree in the left pane, right-click the Enterprise icon. In the drop down menu, select Set Encryption Options.

3. On the Set Job Encryption Options dialog, note the following fields:

   • Network Encryption

     This option is set to No. Yes is disabled since it is not applicable to the NDMP backup type.

   • Encrypt Data

     The default is No Data Encryption. To proceed with hardware encryption, select from the pull-down menu Encrypt Data at the device server (primary tape only).

4. After you select Encrypt Data at the device server (primary tape only), the following fields appear in the dialog:

   • Encryption Type

     Hardware is automatically selected. Software is disabled since it is not applicable to the NDMP backup type.

   • Encrypt Key Ring Name

     Select a keyring from the pull-down menu. If a keyring is not displayed, you must create one. See Configuring Keyrings.

5. Click OK.
