Configuring BackBox software encryption
Enabling encryption in the BackPak Domain
Without the encryption license option, the tab ‘Key Manager’ does not appears and
the encryption cannot be configured.
The encryption is controlled at two levels in the BackPak license key:
• Global control by the Encryption option
• In each VTC the maximum number of virtual drives operating concurrently
with encryption is limited. This number can be smaller than the actual
number of drives when some tape volumes will not be encrypted.
Select the Configuration menu, Domain page and click the License options link to
verify these two levels of controls. A demo license has generally no limitation on the
number of drives concurrently encrypting or decrypting.
