DPX supports NDMP hardware encryption only for tape drives attached to a NetApp storage system.
NDMP hardware encryption is implemented through a NDMP proxy server.
Hardware encryption is not supported for appliance-to-server backups. Hardware encryption is supported for appliance-to-appliance backups, including three-way backups.
Both the NDMP appliance to which the tape device is attached and the NDMP proxy server must be nodes in the Enterprise.
Encryption for specific LTO tapes and manufacturers is supported. See .
For tape devices supported by NetApp, see .
Interchanging tape type (for example, LTO-3) and device type (for example, LTO-4) can result in encryption and backup failure or both. The result may vary with hardware manufacturer. If you are interchanging tape types and device types, consult your hardware vendor documentation to determine the expected outcome.
