About data encryption
The NetBackup Appliance offers the following encryption methodologies to protect both data at rest and in flight:
Transmits data in encrypted formats by using secure tunnels. These configurations can be made by client-side encryption and also replication. If these options are not used, once the data is transmitted from the appliance, the network infrastructure is used for securing data in flight.
Starting with NetBackup Appliance version 3.0 (NetBackup version 8.0), MSDP provides AES encryption. If your environment uses encrypted MSDP, new incoming data gets encrypted with AES 128-bit (default) or AES 256-bit. For more information, see the following NetBackup documents:

Supports encryption using NetBackup Key Management Service (KMS) which is integrated with NetBackup Enterprise Server 7.1. See KMS support .
