Hi i have posted this 2 times before here but havent receved a reply yet.
thus led me to belive that knowlegde on this is wery limited.

I have a big custemer who is considerating TSM for there backup system.
However, they will be needing to take some of there backup offsite.
They have extremly valible data witch may not get in the wrong hands.

I have been reading up on Encryption in TSM and found it to be only desingd
to protect the data on the way
to the TSM server. I found no info on werther the data would be Encrypted in
the storage pools.

My question.

Is it possible to make Backupset, and be sure no-one can use it if it gets
in the wrong hands (Encrypt it somehow.
How can a administrator be sure that no-one can restore his
copy-storage-pools. is it posible to encrypt the data somehow.
Is it possible to password protect the TSM Database, so that you can´t
restore it without a password.


what way can they take offsite backup and be sure that there data is safe,
even if the bad guys get the tapes.

Thanks in advance for any help.
