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 Appliance, the setting must be enabled on each source and destination server before defining the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 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.

If replication encryption mode is changed on a replication PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance, it may take up to 1 hour for the source appliance to discover this change. To detect the change immediately, initiate manual discovery on the replication target from Infrastructure > Storage > Replication Target. This may be necessary when updating a replication policy after configuration changes since the source and destination appliance must have the same replication encryption setting.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 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 Appliance UI displays the status of the in-flight encryption setting for all attached storage systems.
