I'm confused ... if I have a storage node with an AFTD drvice (disk), and 
I have a clone job set ... wouldn't NetWorker encrypt the data to the 
drive of the storage node. And if it then clones that drive onto tape, 
don't I have an encrypted saveset on tape (because the saveset on disk was 
encrypted)?
