  ENCRYPTKEY option is not available in case of LANFREE backup
  because it is incompatible with LANFREE backup.
  
  ENCRYPTKEY option is available in case of LANFREE restore.

Problem conclusion

• Starting with IBM Spectrum Protect server levels 8.1.1 and
  later, and 7.1.8 and later, client-side encryption is no longer
  suppoted with LAN-free backup and archive operations.
  
  The associated documentation updates have been added to the
  following topics in the client documentation:

  LAN-free data movement

  The following restriction has been added:
  
  Restriction:
  Client encryption with the include.encrypt option is no longer
  supported for LAN-free backup and archive operations to the IBM
  Spectrum Protect server V8.1.1 and later levels, or V7.1.8 and
  later V7 levels. LAN-free restore and retrieve operations of
  encrypted backup versions and archive copies continue to be
  supported. If you need to encrypt data by using the
  include.encrypt option, in which data is encrypted before it is
  sent to the server, use LAN-based backup or archive operations.
