Oracle RMAN (OmniBack) Backup Encryption

[Kalle]

Hi all,

I have a "weird" question.

Do you have any experience how to encrypt the backup.

Let's say I have following backup method in use:

RMAN on UNIX box. I will use online backup and copy the backup set(s)
either to the disk or the tape using OmniBack. How I can encrypt the
backup sets either to the disks or to direct to the tape using OmniBack.


Do you have any similar setups...

Thank you in advance,

Kalle

If you want to keep your data safe from prying eyes, then use the
DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT to encrypt the data in the database. This way,
you don't have to worry about your backups.

HTH,
Brian

Yes, OmniBack can do this. You should be able to find information regarding
this in the OmniBack docs on HP's website.

Here is a condensed version of how to encrypt RMAN backups that I wrote with a way to actually test whether encryption is working also.
