I hardly see that happen anytime soon. so they wanted me encrypt these files, that is on the backup location before the netbackup scheduler picks up these files. Database is getting backed up to a disk location and from there netbackup agent picks up and writes it into the tape , but we have these 13 flat files that go into offsite which really needs encryption and decryption logic in place upon after restore back to disk .
