When you enable encryption for a job, you must define a password to protect data processed by this job, and define a hint for the password. The password and the hint are saved in the job settings. Based on this password, Veeam Backup & Replication generates a user key. The user key protects data at the job level. In the encryption hierarchy, the user key encrypts storage keys for all restore points in the backup chain. During the encryption process, Veeam Backup & Replication saves a hint for the password to the encrypted file. When you decrypt a file, Veeam Backup & Replication displays a hint for the password that you must provide. After you enter a password, Veeam Backup & Replication derives a user key from the password and uses it to unlock the storage key for the encrypted file. According to the security best practices, you must change passwords for encrypted jobs regularly. When you change a password for the job, Veeam Backup & Replication creates a new user key and uses it to encrypt new restore points in the backup chain. Important! You must always remember passwords set for jobs or save these passwords in a safe place. If you lose or forget the password, you can restore data from a backup file by issuing a request to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. For more information, see How Decryption Without Password Works.

Please join Chette Boardman as he discusses the new features available in Symantec Net Backup 7.6 for the protection of virtual machines ( VMs). He will cover.
Improve VMware ESX performance with v Storage APIs for Data Protection ( VADP The Plug‑in for VMware works with VADP to provide centralized backups that reduce the load on ESX Servers and backup traffic on the Local Area Network. This approach is especially important if you need to consolidate hardware. You have the flexibility to protect all your virtual machines deployed on a single ESX Server or protect multiple ESX Servers from a single Net Vault Backup Client. With VMware v Sphere® Storage v Motion® ( Storage v Motion the plug-in is able to protect your virtual machines without requiring detailed knowledge of their location. Increase confidence while deploying VMware: The Plug‑in for VMware protects individual VMware® ESX® and VMware® ESXi™ Servers as well as a full VMware® v Center™ environment. It empowers you to create comprehensive, flexible backup policies without the need for complex scripting or deep understanding of VADP. The plug-in provides peace of mind because you can simply point-and-click to back up or restore virtual machines. It increases efficiency by consolidating virtual machine backup management into a single environment, improving storage administration efficiency. The solution enhances protection for Windows®-based virtual machines by performing VSS-based snapshots to quiesce applications before backup. Automatic integration of backup devices ensures business continuity: The Plug‑in for VMware supports a wide range of backup devices, allowing you to store your backup data on disk-based storage devices, virtual tape libraries, or physical tape libraries. It ensures that your virtualized environments are protected and stored off-site for disaster recovery purposes. The plug-in also frees administrators from being available 24x7 by allowing less experienced VMware administrators to confidently initiate restores correctly and as quickly as.
