How Data Protector drive-based encryption works
The BSM reads the backup specification in which the Drive-based encryption option
is selected and requests an active encryption key from the KMS. The key is transferred
to the Media Agent (MA), which configures the drive for encryption and sets the
encryption key into the drive. The drive encrypts both the data and the meta-data
that is written to the medium.
