Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Encryptkey

The encryptkey option specifies whether to save the encryption key password locally when performing a backup-archive operation or whether to prompt for the encryption key password. The encryption key password is saved to the Registry in encrypted format.

If you set the encryptkey option to save, you are only prompted the first time you perform an operation. Thereafter, Tivoli Storage Manager does not prompt for the password.

Note: The Web client saves the encryption key password in the Windows registry. If you do not save the encryption key password, you are prompted for the initial encryption key password when you begin encryption processing.
