    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    SP (ent edition) Server is 8.1.10 to 8.1.15 (we have mixed version across our estate, running on RHEL7/8). It's NDMP so there is no 'client' but the Isilon is 9.1. We have a security requirement that all backup communications are encrypted. TLS 1.2/3 seems to be an accepted standard hence the request for that, but any AES256 etc method would be ok. We log the absence of encryption as a risk and continue but look to see what can be done to close the risk, and requesting an enhancement from the vendor is part of that process. But we do recognize that NDMP is not an IBM owned protocol
