Hi,
As above really!
We are backing up our servers using BE defined passphrase (256 bit AES encryption) on our LTO5/6 drives.
We are going to start supporting an external company and rather than dedicate separate media sets (And tapes) to this company what we want to do is the following:
Setup their jobs to append to our tapes using our current encryption key
In the extremely unlikely scenario that they want a copy of their backups I do not want to give them our tapes (Just incase they get into our data). So what I want to do is duplicate their backup sets onto an unencrypted tape.
When I select a backup set and select the Duplicate option there is an option about encryption which Symantec mentions can be used to encrypt unencrypted backup sets. It also mentions that if a different encryption key is specified only unencrypted data will be encrypted with this key. So I am wondering if I select no encryption will it simply make an encrypted copy, or will it make an unencrypted copy?
