Encryptiontype
Use the encryptiontype option to specify the algorithm for data encryption.
The encryptiontype affects only backup and archive operations. The data that you include is stored in encrypted form, and encryption does not affect the amount of data that is sent or received. During restore and retrieve operations the encrypted data is decrypted with the proper encryption algorithm, regardless of the setting for this option.
