With its optional Encryption
Module, Backup EDGE can
encrypt some or all of the data in an archive using strong encryption
methods. Encryption is fully integrated with other product functions,
such as FFR / IFR, Compression, Disaster Recovery, etc.
User data is encrypted
with 256 bit AES encryption, while the AES key exchange is
handled via 2048 bit RSA encryption.
Because BackupEDGE uses the asymmetric RSA
encryption algorithm for key exchange, you do not need to have the
decryption key on a machine in order to make encrypted backups! For
example, you can easily configure multiple machines to use the same RSA
encryption key, without any risk that a mistake at any one of them will
compromise the security of all three because the decryption key can be
kept elsewhere!
However, encryption can also
be configured to be totally transparent, so that restores of encrypted
data do not require any special steps. When set up like this, the
archive is still encrypted, so attempts to restore it on other systems
will fail. If you want to protect backups taken off-site without
changing many procedures, then this "transparent" configuration may be
suitable.
