Backup Encryption / Tape Encryption
Backup Encryption / Tape Encryption
Native System i (iSeries) commands are provided in Crypto Complete to encrypt and save libraries, objects and IFS files. Keys or passphrases can be used to protect the encrypted backups.
The AES encryption algorithm is implemented to provide strong protection for your backups. AES follows standard (non-proprietary) specifications as published by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). You can choose between key lengths of AES128, AES192 and AES256.

The System i backup (tape) encryption provided in Crypto Complete allows organizations to comply with PCI DSS requirements, state privacy laws and federal regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley.
Every effort has been made to offer high speed backup encryption processes through Crypto Complete.
Additional benefits:
Every effort has been made to offer high speed backup encryption processes through Crypto Complete.
Additional benefits:
- Crypto Complete is a pure software solution requiring no additional hardware.
- Customers can use their existing tape devices, saving significant money.
- Encrypted backups can be targeted to the IFS, a tape device and other physical and virtual backup devices.
- Can be integrated quickly into existing backup processes.
- No intermediate save files are generated, saving disk space and time.
- Includes an integrated key management system that resides on the System i. No PC required.
- Key labels can be stored with encrypted backups, so you don't have to remember which key to use to decrypt/restore a backup.
- Disaster recovery is simplified since no special devices are required to restore.
Crypto Complete's backup and restore commands can be entered on the System i (i5/OS) command line, placed in CL programs, incorporated in BRMS and used in job schedulers on the System i.
Backup encryption menu:
Native commands are also provided to restore/decrypt libraries, objects and IFS files which were saved using Crypto Complete's backup commands.
Crypto Complete's backup encryption commands can be incorporated into IBM’s BRMS package. Contact Linoma Software for the BRMS integration instructions.The System i is also referred to as IBM i, iSeries, AS/400, AS400 and i5
