NetBackup status code: 8306

Message: The data-in-transit encryption (DTE) mode of the backup image is set to On, therefore NetBackup tries to encrypt the data but the media server version is older than 9.1.

Explanation: The backup image that is used for secondary operations such as restore, duplication, import, verify, and others, has data-in-transit encryption (DTE) mode enabled. Therefore NetBackup tries to encrypt the data. However, the media server version is older than 9.1 and as a result, the given operation fails.

Recommended Action: Perform one of the following as appropriate:

  1. Upgrade the NetBackup media server to a version that supports data-in-transit encryption.

  2. Change the configuration to select the media server which supports data-in-transit encryption for performing NetBackup operations.

  3. Change the data-in-transit encryption (DTE) mode of the given backup image to Off using the following command:

    bpimage -update -image_dtemode Off -id <backup_id>
  4. Set DTE_IGNORE_IMAGE_MODE = WHERE_UNSUPPORTED in the NetBackup configuration file of the primary server or the media server.

For option 3 and option 4, DTE is disabled while the job is performed.

For more information, refer to the Configuring data-in-transit encryption section in the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
