I have a couple of questions regarding encryption from TSM. 
 
1) What type of encryption is used for Tivoli passwords stored in the Windows 
Registry?
 
2) If a password is set for the Tivoli Encryption on a node, can that password 
ever be changed or does the same password always have to be used for the life 
of the data backed up.  For example, you backup and encrypt your files with 
password xxxxxx stored in the windows registry.  Can you change that password 
at some point to yyyyyy and be able to restore that data or is xxxxxx forever 
linked to that encrypted data?
 
Thanks,
