Backup Exec 2014 duplicate backup sets without encryption?
Hi,
As above really!
We are backing up our servers using BE defined passphrase (256 bit AES encryption) on our LTO5/6 drives.
We are going to start supporting an external company and rather than dedicate separate media sets (And tapes) to this company what we want to do is the following:
Setup their jobs to append to our tapes using our current encryption key
In the extremely unlikely scenario that they want a copy of their backups I do not want to give them our tapes (Just incase they get into our data). So what I want to do is duplicate their backup sets onto an unencrypted tape.
When I select a backup set and select the Duplicate option there is an option about encryption which Symantec mentions can be used to encrypt unencrypted backup sets. It also mentions that if a different encryption key is specified only unencrypted data will be encrypted with this key. So I am wondering if I select no encryption will it simply make an encrypted copy, or will it make an unencrypted copy?
- When the source is already encrypted and you do not specify encryption in your duplicate job, the original encrypted backup set is duplicated
- You can either use another encryption key to backup the other party's data or no encryption. It does not matter if they are on the same tape as your data. Encryption is for each individual backup set and not for the whole media
