Re: Backup set protection

[Dwight Cook]

I have not personally run with encrypted data and restoring from a backup
set but knowing in all other situations if the data is encrypted and the
encryption key isn't present it will prompt for it, I would imagine it would
function the same way here.
Validate through testing though...

HI Thx for your inputs.

But if I enable client encryption for taking flat file backup, then how
will I restore the backup set data. At the time of backup set restoration
will it ask me to put the same passport which I used it for flatfile
backup.

As I know it will prompt us to enter the password for normal restore
process, but I am not sure whether it will for backup set restoration if
encryption is enable for file system backup.?

Simply activate client encryption.
The data will be encrypted at the client before it is sent to the server;
from that point forward, it will be encrypted no matter where it resides in
TSM server storage / media.  If you generate a backup set on portable media
readable to the client, the data will be in its encrypted format.

Guyes,

Any idea about how to protect/encrypt the backup set ?

Requirement  :- Need some kind of protection/authentication at the time of
restoring backup set data, so that even if backup set media lost, no one
can restore that data. Currently using LTO2 drives.

Appreciate your inputs..

Thanks,
Sachin C.
