Re: [Veritas-bu] encryption and offhost
One or the other. The client in this case would be whichever system ultimately does the backup. Media Server Encryption Option provides key management and compression, which are extremely nice features. But with one client, it is not a huge benefit. If your plan is to add other clients to be encrypted at some point, MSEO is the right way to go, otherwise, Client encryption is probably more cost effective.

We've been asked to look at encryption for one of our systems. The client that needs encryption is currently being backed up with vss/clariion snapshot integration to off-host backup on the media server. In this case what would be the process for encryption and restoring from those backups ,? Should encryption be set on the client, media server or both?

For a single client that has extra CPU power, client-side encryption is not too bad. For a handful of clients, MSEO might be the right way to go. If you're going to do everything, purchase an encryption appliance like a Decru/NetApp Cryptostor. We decided to go the Decru approach - we don't have to worry about which clients are encrypted and which aren't, or if data was copied from a server that has encrypted backups to a server that doesn't. We know that if the tape goes offsite, it's encrypted. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
