PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

Enable replication encryption

You can ensure that replicated content is encrypted while in-flight to the destination storage, and then decrypted before it is saved on the destination storage.

About this task

The encryption settings on both the source and destination systems must match to ensure successful replication.

For example, if you enable in-flight encryption in PowerProtect Data Manager, the setting must be enabled on each source and destination server before defining the PowerProtect Data Manager replication objective. If encryption is enabled after the initial definition of replication objectives, any replication jobs that were initiated during the period when the source and destination server encryption settings did not match will fail.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, click Settings icon, and then select Security.
    The Security dialog box appears.
  2. Click the Replication Encryption switch so it is enabled, and then click Save.

Next steps

The Infrastructure > Storage window of the PowerProtect Data Manager UI displays the status of the in-flight encryption setting for all attached storage systems.

NOTE For systems with DDOS version 6.2 and earlier installed, the status might display as Unknown. DDOS version 6.3 and later supports authentication mode. DDOS versions earlier than version 6.3 support only anonymous authentication mode. PowerProtect Data Manager supports only anonymous and two-way authentication modes. Ensure that both source and destination system servers use the same authentication mode.

You can take additional steps on your PowerProtect Data Manager server to enable in-flight encryption on connected DD systems by using DD System Manager, as described in the DDOS Administration Guide.
