A database administrator would like to start encrypting database exports stored on the SAN, but the storage
administrator warns that this may drastically increase the amount of disk space used by the exports. Which of
the following explains the reason for the increase in disk space usage?

A.
Deduplication is not compatible with encryption

B.
The exports are being stored on smaller SAS drives

C.
Encrypted files are much larger than unencrypted files

D.
The SAN already uses encryption at rest

Explanation:
Encryption adds overhead to the data which results in and increase in file size. This overhead is attached to
each file and could include the encryption/decryption key, data recovery files and data decryption field in file
header. As a result, requires increased storage space.
