I am not sure if we're using Client encryption or not. I do appreciate all the help you've been providing.
I have access to the 7.7 media server and there are no keyfile.dat files at all on it. If I look at the client properties of the client and it shows a checkmark in front of Enable Encryption. The unencrypted clients don't have this checkmark.
I go to the new 8.0 media server and look up the client and I am able to check Enable Encryption.
But I'm still not able to choose the encrypt option on the policy attributes - greyed out. Did I miss something in the document you recommended I read?
I'm not following this: The NetBackup Encryption Option is located on the "UNIX Options" media (UNIX) and is automatically included in the NetBackup installation (Windows). A valid license key is required to enable functionality.
Where do I access the UNIX Options? And how do I use the license key to enable the functionality?
There are encryption license keys on the 7.7 Media Server labled Encryption, Encrypttion (Legacy DES 56-bit, and Encryption (Legacy DES 40-bit) - The new server does not have these. I see I can export a license key - Do I need to learn how to import the key in order for this to work?
And finally:
We're only encrypting the backups on 2 clients - I'm a bit concerned because the bp.conf on each of them is different. The production database client is using CRYPT_KIND = STANDARD (from bp.conf) - the pre-production database client has:
CRYPT_KIND = LEGACY
CRYPT_OPTION = REQUIRED
CRYPT_KEYFILE = XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XX
CRYPT_STRENGTH = DES_56
I suppose this is fine - but I'd like them to both be the same. What are the issues if I change them both to legacy or standard on the new media server?
