About MSDP
Encryption algorithm
Veritas introduced a new encryption algorithm for the Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) in NetBackup 8.0. The Advanced Encryption Standard 256 bits, CTR (AES) replaces the existing Blowfish encryption algorithm. With NetBackup 8.1, Veritas begins use of the SHA-2 fingerprint algorithm as well. With the introduction of the new fingerprint algorithm, NetBackup 8.1 includes a rolling data conversion. This background process converts all existing data containers to the AES encryption and the SHA-2 fingerprint algorithm. More information about the MSDP changes is available. Refer to the Veritas NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
