BS2000 also supports encrypted files. These are supported uniformly by HSMS in the following way:
To save and restore, export and import, migrate and recall an encrypted file it is not necessary to specify the associated crypto password (this applies both for the administrator and nonprivileged users). No modifications are therefore required to take these files into account in procedures and jobs for saving and restoring.
The file content is stored in the save file in encrypted format (i.e. transferred from the disk storage in the pubset in unchanged format). Loss or unauthorized reading of the backup volume does therefore not mean the file content can be read.
Consequently in the event of a restore the encrypted file content is written back from the save file to disk unchanged.
In this respect no performance loss is incurred when saving and restoring encrypted files.
The restored file has the same encryption attributes as the file saved originally. In particular the same crypto password is required to open the file.
Restriction
An encrypted file cannot be restored on a private disk or Net-Storage.
