Network traffic encryption - verification

Post by JTT »

How can i verify network traffic encryption between two repositorys?
I have a copy job, for copying data from one site to another. It has a VPN tunnel, but still, i would want to have network traffic encryption on from Veeam also.
I did set it up from Network Traffic Rules, but should this also be displayed on the copy job logs?

Hello JTT,

Network traffic encryption works for both vm backup and backup copy job when enabled. Most likely there is a minor UI glitch and the log line is not displayed in backup copy job, I'll ask QA folks to check. Cheers!

Well, the latest U4a is applyd, but in what log file located in %ProgramData%\Veeam\Backup\job, should it be located at?

I think it is in the Task.<VMname> log file.

There is a set of entries that will say "Channel encryption check: <repo1 IP> to <repo2 IP>" then "Channel encryption enabled due to traffic rule:..."

Thanks, i´ll try to go over the logs once again, but i kind of remember, that i have seen from other VBR server job logs, that it clearly says "Network traffic will be encrypted."

Worst case you could always run a Wireshark trace to see if the traffic is encrypted.
