ENCRIPTION AND BACKUP SOLUTION?

[George_Njoroge]

HI
Iwould want to propose a backup solution for one my clients i.e Veritus to be able to backup all their data on the network realtime, or any other solution available in the market.
They recently had their data stolen (Physical theft of drive's) and their client contacts database compromised, they suspect rival companies did it,
And i would like to integrate the solution(Backup with will be installed on the network) with an encription solution that can be able to encript the backup done and is taken off site and the existing data on the server(s)
to ensure that even if the same happens again and the drives are physically stollen again the infromation on the drives is useless to the one who steal it if they cant decript it.

And the internal data is proteced from unauthorised access even from other users in the network.

So this is where data that has been backed up from the network is collected in the backup server and all this information can be collectively encriped and stored off shore and also the information existing the other servers( SQL, Exchange etc) is protected and if the drives are stollen then they are still useless to the theives.

what do i go for
and will it integrate with veritus or any other backup solution
what is the price
and the technical appplication of the solution and its feasibility

kindly get in touch with me as soon as you can i have to do it in the morning tomorrow

regards

Hello George!

Well you could use backup exec to encrypt the data and protect it from being usable after it is stolen ;) !

BEWS has the following option while setting up the backup:

Media Protection

Password protect media
Select this option if you are overwriting the media and you want to protect it. When the Enter Password dialog box appears, enter a media password. When a password-protected media is taken to another location, such as another media server, the password is required to catalog the tape.

The Media written are in an encrypted format, but it could be read using backup exec. But to further protect your media even after encrypting your data, you will have to always "password protect" your backup media.
