Encryptiontype
Use the encryptiontype option to specify the algorithm for data encryption.
The encryptiontype affects only backup and archive operations. The data that you include is stored in encrypted form, and encryption does not affect the amount of data that is sent or received. During restore and retrieve operations the encrypted data is decrypted with the proper encryption algorithm, regardless of the setting for this option.
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients.
Options File
Place this option in the dsm.sys file within a server stanza. You can also set this option on the Authorization tab of the Preferences editor. The server can override this.
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt). You can also set this option on the Authorization tab of the Preferences editor. The server can override this.
Syntax
.-AES128-. >>-ENCRYPTIONType--+--------+---------------------------------->< +-AES256-+ '-DES56--'
Parameters
- AES128
- AES 128-bit data encryption. AES 128-bit is the default.
- AES256
- AES 256-bit data encryption. AES 256-bit data encryption provides
the highest level of data encryption available in backup and archive
operations. Restriction:Files that are backed up using AES 256-bit encryption cannot be restored with an older level client.
- DES56
- DES 56-bit data encryption.
