Hi All, 

May i know if there is a specific document to configure KMS for NBU appliance on MSDP pool ? Any important points to take note of to setup in particular with KMS on DISK.

    Hello,

    two points:

    - KMS is configured on Master Server, regardless which types and platforms of Media Servers are controlled by this Master

    - the purpose of KMS is an encryption of Tape backups, not Disk backups. You must use MSDP level encryption or client level encryption to achieve this

    Regards

    Michal
