About data encryption

The NetBackup appliance offers the following encryption methodologies to protect both data at rest and in flight:

  • Transmits data in encrypted formats by using secure tunnels. These configurations can be made by client-side encryption and also replication. If these options are not used, once the data is transmitted from the appliance, the network infrastructure is used for securing data in flight.

  • Starting with NetBackup appliance version 3.0 (NetBackup version 8.0), MSDP provides AES encryption. If your environment uses encrypted MSDP, new incoming data gets encrypted with AES 128-bit (default) or AES 256-bit. For more information, see the following NetBackup documents:

    Veritas NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide

  • Supports encryption using NetBackup Key Management Service (KMS) which is integrated with NetBackup Enterprise Server 7.1. See KMS support .
