Contents


1   Description

This instruction describes how to enable encryption of scheduled backup contents.

The encryption of scheduled backup contents is set via enableEncryption attribute of BrmBackupScheduler. In addition to this, other attributes of BrmBackupScheduler must be configured correctly for encryption of scheduled backup contents to be successful.

The default value of attribute enableEncryption is false.

2   Procedure

2.1   Enable Encryption of Scheduled Backup Contents

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Navigate to the BrmBackupScheduler managed object, for example:

    >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,BrM=1,BrmBackupManager=SYSTEM_DATA,BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA

  2. Enter Config mode:

    (BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>configure

  3. Enable encryption on future scheduled backups:

    (config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>enableEncryption=true

  4. Set the encryption method of scheduled backups to password:

    (config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>encryptionMethod=PASSWORD

  5. Provide the password used to encrypt data inside scheduled backups, for example:

    (config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>backupPassword=”a8763kS8” cleartext

  6. Provide the user label for encrypted scheduled backups:

    (config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>userLabel=”Daily scheduled backups encrypted with a password”

  7. Commit the change:

    (config-BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>commit

  8. Verify the change:

    (BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA)>show

    The following is an example output:

    BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA
    [...]
    BrmBackupScheduler=SYSTEM_DATA
       autoExportUri=""
       backupPassword="1:l4Y7DnArYsKJgYZ/sX8NLLdFxe9Om9GX"
       encryption=true
       mostRecentlyCreatedAutoBackup="NOT_AVAILABLE"
       nextScheduledTime="2100-01-01T15:59:59"
       schedulerState=DISABLED
       userLabel="Daily scheduled backups encrypted with a password"
    [...]
