Ensuring the Security of ZMC Backups

You must be careful about securing access to enterprise backup tools such as the Zmanda Management Console to avoid increased vulnerability to security threats. This section notes some of the best practices to ensure that the ZMC and backups themselves are available only to authorized network administrators.

• Configure https rather than http for ZMC access.

• Make sure strong passwords (i.e. alpha and numerical, at least 8 characters) are in effect

for all ZMC login accounts.

• Use encryption when backing up remote machines over the network.
