AME is an option for LTO4 drives.  It's not available for LTO2 and
LTO3.  TSM also now provides SSL encryption for transmission.  I have no
experience with this yet.  We are using AME on our LTO4 drives, and it is
very easy to setup.

Hi

Short and sweet question.

3584 Library with 6 LTO2 and 6 LTO3 drives.
Server V 5.4.4.0
Clients from 5.3.2.0 to 5.5.1.6

Can encryption of backups be performed any other way than at client source
(dsm.opt)?

I'm unsure if I can utilise Application Managed Encryption (AME)

Any pointers welcome, though i've tried to read 'Building a secure
environment' pdf.

Cheers

Jim
