PGP Netshare backup software behavior/requirements

Hi there,

I need a clarification with regards to PGP Netshare backup software behavior and/or requirements.

Having an PGP managed environment with Netshare encryption enabled, what are the prerequistes for the backup software, backing up the file server, to automatically decrypt the encrypted files and folders for backup dedupe etc.? Consider we have not added the backup software to the exclude list on the PGP Desktop policy? Do we need to install PGP desktop on the file server?

Thanks,

Giulio
