Determine compression and encryption processing
The backup-archive client evaluates exclude.dir and any other include-exclude options controlling backup and archive processing, and then determines which files undergo compression and encryption processing.
The following options determine which files undergo 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.
Restriction: Client encryption with the
include.encrypt option is no longer supported for LAN-free backup and archive
operations to the IBM® Storage Protect server 8.1.1 and
later levels, or IBM Storage Protect7.1.8 and later
version 7 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.
