Symantec Backup Exec 2014 Encryption Recommendation
We have 2 branch offices who are using Symantec backup exec 2014 on Windows 2008 R2 along with
- IBM Tape Library TS3100 (LTO-5)
- IBM Tape Drive Standalone (LTO-7)
What is the recommended method to apply encryption on the backup jobs? software or hardware?
Will adding software OR hardware encryption increases the backup time?
If Backup Exec windows is reinstalled, OR if we want to restore data from encrypted tapes on another backup exec server, then how we will going to restore data from these encrypted tapes ?
Will adding software OR hardware encryption increases the backup time?
Definitely, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Do use hardware encryption where possible. This takes less time than software encryption and both will take more time than non-encrypted jobs.
