Client Side Encryption

Hi,

How can we enable/disable client side encryption in Networker backup.

Do we have a command to do so....

I am interested in file system backup encryption only.

    For this purpose ...

      - you must specify a 'global' pass phrase (for the entire data zone)

      - and you must use a compression directive for the client.

    Please seethe Admin Guide for further details.

    Encryption is supported via directives in NetWorker. on the client side this can be applied by using the directive in the nsr.dir file which has to be located in the folder that needs to be encrypted.

    The encryption key is configured on the backup server only. If you loose the key or there will be no way to get the data restored. So think this through before you configure it.
