Configuring encryption for MSDP cloud storage volumes

MSDP cloud volume encryption is configured through the NetBackup web UI or command line options. At the time of MSDP cloud volume creation, you can configure an encryption. For cloud volumes, KMS is always required to configure an encryption. The encryption checkbox is not available if KMS is not enabled.

Note:

Each MSDP storage volume encryption is configured individually. Like MSDP disk storage pool encryption, once it is configured, all data to the cloud storage volume will be encrypted regardless of the data source.
