I know the topic of reading tapes written by TSM without having the DB has
come up before, but I'm wondering if anything has changed from a couple of
years ago with the implementation of 5.3 so here are a few questions.



How hard is it to read tapes without the TSM database tape?



Is there any tape encryption with TSM 5.3?



Besides encrypting data from the client to the server is there anything else
that can be done?



What type of hit does encryption take on the client/server when in use?



Thanks,
