Nothing at all. If it's a concern, then you can either use the TSM client encryption, or some application-level encryption prior to TSM reading it at all.
Of course, even with the data encrypted, the administrator could compromise the system in other ways, such as deleting backups outright. To some degree the administrator does have to be trusted, and if you can't trust him/her then you need to find someone else to do backups. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([email protected]) -- Genome Sciences Department, System Administrator -- Foege Building S046, (206)-685-7354 -- University of Washington School of Medicine On 10/25/11 01:07 PM, Keith Arbogast wrote:
This question came up again here. If a TSM admin with system authorization knows the client password for a certain TSM node, what keeps him from restoring files from that node to another server of his choosing? Sorry to resuscitate this old horse. With many thanks, Keith
