Kids, kids, open the door!
Are your data worth? Is a wicked wolf or a competition prowling around, looking for every chink to get your lunch or list of clients? It's necessary to make computers, not only the door, safe. And let alone the backups!

Security? Yes, Mr. head waiter, for all!
It is not easy to secure the data in a firm. Especially when your company expanded and you are not in two offices any longer. Be careful, here it is necessary to realize, that you must secure both data on the workstations, server etc. and the backups.

How will NetBackup.lite help?.
NetBackup.lite does not solve security. It has some options to deny running scripts by means of the application "Script Runner" (we will deal with this in a while), however, nothing precludes the user from starting the backup by means of the command line, batch file or similarly.

Leave it to the system.
Our recommendation is simple. If you don't want users from one department to use or even see scripts from another department, store those scripts in different folders on your server and set proper rights for them. Thus you will limit the users' possibility to find out, where the others' data are actually backed up etc.

Where is the tape? At the competitors!
Further it is necessary to select another security also among the backups. Ensure, that no unauthorized person from one department could access the backup of the other department etc. You must select appropriate model; our experience is, that the structure of the storage space should correspond to the logical structure of the company.

However, your work does not end here, especially if you back up the storage space once a while on tapes! Each such backup should comply with two conditions. It should be located outside the room or building, where the server with backups is situated (if there is a fire, then everything is affected) and concurrently it should be beyond the reach of a meddlesome dryinid wasp.
