You have data set encryption. "Pervasive encryption" is a strategy, not a
product or feature. And it's not that *any* data is encrypted: you have to
turn it on, and it doesn't work for all data set types, right?

 

I won't go into (again) how little actual protection it provides, though for
the backup case it would presumably apply.if set up right (i.e., if the
backup process is enabled to read the data in its protected state).
