Sql Server TDE and Snapmanager backups/mirroring to DR

indianrock — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:39:49 GMT

We've been using Snap Manager for sql server for backups which includes snap mirroring to a disaster recovery site. Management is now considering adding Transparent Data Encryption to one of the databases. I'd like to find documentation and/or reports on how this was successful ( or not ) along with guidelines, pitfalls, etc.

Does SnapManager for SQL provide support for Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) of Microsoft SQL Server databases?

Please use this link as a documented reference for the use of TDE in your SMSQL configuration.

Furthermore, this information will be included in an upcoming release of the SMSQL Administration Guide.
