Understanding and Troubleshooting Random Backup Failures with FIPS Compliant AES-256 Algorithm
Description
Users have reported that backups and restores are slower when using the AES256 encryption option with NetVault 13.0.1 and 13.0.2. The issue is caused by the built-in NetVault Plug-in for Encryption being set to use a FIPS compliant AES-256 algorithm. While the FIPS compliance is a desirable feature for many users, it comes at a cost of significantly slower backups and restores. As a result, some users may find the slower performance unacceptable, especially if they have large amounts of data to backup or restore.
