NetVault Plug-in for Standard Encryption 11.4 - User Guide

Installing the plug-in

You can install the plug-in simultaneously on multiple machines by using the configuration wizard. Alternatively, you can install a plug-in on a single client from the Manage Clients page.

The following sections describe the different procedures that you can use to install the plug-in:

•
Installing the plug-in using the push installation method (Windows)
•
Installing the plug-in using the configuration wizard (Linux/UNIX)
•
Installing the plug-in from the Manage Clients page
Installing the plug-in using the push installation method (Windows)

On Windows-based machines, you can use the push installation method to install the plug-ins on several machines at the same time. You can perform push installations from the NetVault Backup WebUI.

Before you start the push installation procedure, verify that the following requirements are met:

•
Copy the packages to a shared location: Copy the client and plug-in packages to a shared location. Only CIFS shares are currently supported as package stores. The path must be accessible to the NetVault Backup Server and all target machines where you want to install the packages.
Make sure that you use the original names of the installation packages. Renamed packages cannot be selected for push installations.
•
Configure a package store in NetVault Backup: After copying the installation packages, configure the shared location details in NetVault Backup. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
To install the plug-in on Windows-based clients:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Install Software/Add Clients.
2
On the Select Software/Add Clients page, select Install NetVault software on remote machines.
3
In the Package Store list, select the repository that contains the installation packages that you want to deploy.
4
To add plug-in packages, click Add NetVault plug-in package.
In the Select Packages for Deployment dialog box, select the check boxes corresponding to the “.npk” binary files that you want to use. The files names are listed in the following table (where x‑x‑x‑x represents the version, build, and platform numbers).

Description

Encrypt ALL Backups on this Client

After the Plug‑in for Standard Encryption or Plug‑in for Advanced Encryption is installed on a client, you can do either of the following:

•
Encrypt all backups performed for that client.
•
Encrypt specific backups performed for that client.

To enable encryption for all backups, select this check box. When you enable encryption for all backups, you cannot change the setting on a per-job basis.

For more information about enabling encryption for specific backups, see Performing job-level encryption.

NOTE: To perform job-level encryption for backups originating from a NetVault Backup Server or Client, the plug-in should not be configured for encrypting all backups.

Encryption Key String

Type the string that serves as the encryption key for the NetVault Backup machine.

Different platforms allow varying characters and password lengths. Quest recommends that you use passwords of 32 characters or less. You can use characters from the following set: “A–Z”, “a–z”, “0–9”, and “_”. Key strings that do not conform to these specifications may work on one platform but may be invalid in another environment.

Available Encryption Algorithms

Select the encryption algorithm that you want to use for backups and restores. Depending on the products that you have installed, the list includes the following options: CAST-128, CAST-256, and AES-256.

5
To apply the new settings and close the dialog box, click Apply.
 
* 
NOTE: An encrypted backup can be restored to either its original location or to a new target machine. In either event, the plug-in must be installed on the target machine and it must be configured as it was when the backup was performed — using the same Encryption Key String and Encryption Algorithm.
