Archive from encrypted backup data

Lets Backup Exec archive the data from the backup sets that are encrypted. The archived data is stored as decrypted data in the vault store. The data in the backup set remains encrypted.

Only common encryption keys can be used to decrypt a backup set during an archive job. If a restricted key is used, then eligible items in the backup set are not archived.

Note:

This option applies only for the File System Archiving Option.

See About restricted keys and common keys in encryption.

Archive backup data that was created in the last x days

Lets Backup Exec archive the data only from the backup sets that are as old as the specified number of days.

The default number of days is 30.

Use this option to limit Backup Exec to relevant backup sets in which to find eligible data to archive.

Note:

Backup Exec searches the backup sets of the specified server to find the data to archive. If backup jobs use the same selection list, then Backup Exec archives the data from the latest full backup and any subsequent incremental or differential backups.
