If I were going to the dramatic step of implementing TSM file
encryption, I would utilize a management class whose name made clear
that encryption was employed, given that a vital key is needed to
decrypt such files. In that way, simply seeing that a file was
associated with that management class would indicate that it was
encrypted. I would definitely *not* utilize an ordinary, pre-existing
management class with encryption, as that's asking for a tremendous
amount of future confusion - which is the last thing needed in a DR
scenario.
