Hi guys,

TSM version 5.2 running on AIX 5.2

To my understanding, data TSM writes on tapes can not be used because it
does not have any meta data associated with the data that  is on tape. Is
this true?  would it be possible, for example, if a copypool tape is lost
during transit that the data on that can be read? does TSM encrypt the
data that is on tape?

TIA!
