The NetBackup Key Management Service provides data at rest encryption
for your backups.
See “About data encryption for cloud storage” on page 74.
Optionally, configure
encryption
Step 4
The Storage server type determines whether or not you use encryption for
your data, as follows:
■ Use nirvanix for data that is not encrypted.
■ Use nirvanix_e to use encryption for the data you send to the cloud.
Encryption is optional.
See “About data encryption for cloud storage” on page 74.
Use nirvanix.com for the Storageserver name. If your Nirvanix account
uses a name other than services.nirvanix.com, enter the fully qualified
domain name Nirvanix provided. For example, the server name may be
similar to services.storage.nirvanix.com.
Caution: After you configure the storage server, do not continue with the
Disk Pool Configuration Wizard. Before you configure the disk pool, you
must set the storage server properties.
