IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Determine compression and encryption processing

Tivoli® Storage Manager evaluates exclude.dir and any other include-exclude options controlling backup and archive processing, and then the decision is made about which files undergo compression and encryption processing.

The following options determine which files undergo compression and encryption processing.

Windows operating systems
Table 1. Options for controlling compression and encryption processing
Option Description Page
Compression processing
exclude.compression Excludes files from compression processing if compression=yes is specified. This option applies to backups and archives. Exclude options
include.compression Includes files for compression processing if compression=yes is specified. This option applies to backups and archives. Include options
Encryption processing
exclude.encrypt Excludes files from encryption processing. Exclude options
include.encrypt Includes files for encryption processing.

The data that you include is stored in encrypted form, and encryption does not affect the amount of data sent or received.

Important: The include.encrypt option is the only way to enable encryption on the Backup-Archive client. If no include.encrypt statements are used encryption will not occur.
