DS-Operator F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Disc / Tape Meta-data Encryption
 
Disc / Tape Meta-data Encryption
This dialog box allows you to specify if encryption is used on the Meta-data for the data written to the Disc / Tape buffer.
 
Encryption Key Type
Select an encryption method.
NONE: The meta-data (the descriptive files used to manage the Disc / Tape data) will not be encrypted.
CLIENT: The meta-data (and Disc / Tape data) will be encrypted with a key based on the DS-Client’s signature. The data will only be restorable from the same DS-Client that is registered with the DS-System.
USER-DEFINED: Type (or import) your own alpha-numeric key of up to 32 characters for the encryption. You can export this key (in encrypted format) to a text file for distribution, if necessary.
Meta-data Encryption Key

Import: You can import from any valid file containing an exported key string.
Export: You can export this key (in encrypted format) to a text file for distribution, if necessary.
