Backup Central

Hi,



Does anyone know if it is possible to enable AES encryption of a raw
partition via a manual save?



I’m thinking save.exe \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2 <file:///\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2> type
of command.



Thanks,



Dave

Encryption over a manual saveset (for us) required a directive file on the client. We do this on Solaris clients, but I'd assume the same for a Windows environment.

The interesting bit is if a directive can reference a raw partition. Unfortunately the manpages I have say no (in Unix), but raw backups in Windows don't seem to require rawasm.

Have you tried something like this (disclaimer, -f taken from a unix manpage):

save.exe -f my_asm.dir \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2

And my_asm.dir contains:
aesasm: \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2


< at > EMC - Any chance we can get a checkbox for encryption in the saveset config, like NetBackup has? It really should not be an asm, but instead a core part of the client libraries (barring export restriction issues of course).
