Security for DB snapshots

Security for DB snapshots

Installed RDM Version: 12.0.8.0- Enterprise

Hello Devolutions Support Team,

I have installed the RDM and connected them to my MySQL Server.

I would like to make save local Snapshots from the DB (not in a cloud).
At the moment, I have a Unix Script which makes snapshots on the SQL Server side. The Connection details (User & Host & User DB- PW) are in the script in clear text. On RDM application side I am using the Security Provider; Shared passphrase.
Is this combination secure? Can Someone, who finds the db snapshots + the script read the DB data?


Kind regards, Thomas

Hello,

Since the passphrase is not present in your scripts, the content of the Connection data is protected.

The only minor improvement I could suggest would be to use environment/shell variables to hold the credentials, this way if the script is copied somewhere else it doesnt hold anything critical.

Best regards,

Maurice
