Client-Side Encryption for NetBackup 6.5.2 and Later - NetBackup

Use client-side encryption (encryption that takes place on the client machine) only with NetBackup 6.5.2 and later. With earlier versions of NetBackup, a backup job fails if client properties are set to “Encryption required” but the policy is created without encryption enabled. In this situation, NetBackup terminates the job and issues a status code of 6 in the status column of the job's entry in Activity Monitor - NetBackup Administration Console.

The log will contain the line “Encryption not requested by server, but required by client” if the scenario described above was the reason for the job failure.
