Subclient-Level Software Encryption in Intellisnap for VSA VMware and CPU Usage Impact

Hello Community,

 


#1 Does Commvault provide support for subclient-level software encryption in Intellisnap for VSA VMware (MA/proxy RHEL 8.8)?

#2 if it does, is the encryption performed on the MediaAgent, similar to streaming VSA backups.

#3 Does the impact on production VM resources is minimized when employing Intellisnap for VMware with subclient encryption enabled?

#4 Also, does enabling Commvault's software encryption result in approximately a 5-10% increase in CPU usage during snap backup?

 

thanks

    I believe the key words in your question is encryption in intellisnap and that does not happen at that level. Encryption can happen at the media agent or client level for Primary and Auxiliary copies.

    “ Software encryption encrypts the data during a backup job, a data replication job, and an auxiliary copy job (encrypts the backup data while copying the data to secondary copies). “

    The illustration here can help understand the steps - note that encryption will happen during backup phase aka Primary (or Aux).
