Del,

I may have the terminology wrong but according to
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/storage-mgr/smart-moves.html
encryption is supported with Windows, Unix, and Netware "storage
manager clients". I have found similar statements in other Tivoli
brochure-ware.

Maybe with those "storage manager clients" TSM doesn't even know about
the encryption - it might be just a client feature. I really have no
idea - this is the first time I'm even investigating Tivoli products.

If the upcoming TDP for Domino 5.3.0 supports encryption, everything
will be good and we can go home happy ;-)
