Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.13.0.0 Administrator Guide for DM5500
Backup and restore encryption
Using Transport Layer Security (TLS), you can encrypt backup or restore data that is in transit for centralized and self-service operations with DD Boost encryption. Encryption of backup and restore data in-flight is available for agent host assets, Kubernetes cluster assets, Network-attached storage (NAS) assets, and VMware virtual machine assets only.
By default, PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports an encryption strength of HIGH and uses DD Boost anonymous authentication mode. The DD Boost encryption software uses the ADH-AES256-SHA cipher suite. The DD Boost for OpenStorage Administration Guide provides more information about the cipher suite for high encryption.
The following table lists the workloads and operations that support encryption of data in-flight:
NOTE: Refer to the agent user guides for more information about the centralized and self-service operations that are supported.
| Workload | Centralized backup | Centralized restore | Self-service backup | Self-service restore |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| File System with Application Direct | Yes | Yes (image-level restore only) | Yes | Yes (image-level restore only) |
| Kubernetes cluster | Yes | Yes | N/A | Yes (from the most recent backup) |
| Microsoft SQL Server with Application Direct | Yes | Yes (database-level restore only) | Yes | Yes (database-level restore only) |
| Microsoft Exchange Server with Application Direct | Yes | N/A | Yes | Yes |
| NAS | Yes | Yes | N/A | N/A |
| Oracle with Application Direct | Yes | N/A | Yes | Yes |
| SAP HANA with Application Direct | Yes | N/A | Yes | Yes |
| Virtual machines | Yes | Yes | N/A | N/A |
Enabling encryption imposes additional overhead. Backup and restore performance for any client could be affected by 5-20% with encryption enabled.
You can enable or disable backup and restore encryption in the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI.
PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance supports backup and restore encryption for all supported DD Boost versions. The most up-to-date software compatibility information for PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance is provided by the Dell E-Lab Navigator.
NOTE: You do not need to enable in-flight encryption on connected
DD systems. If
DD encryption settings exist, the higher setting takes precedence.
