Ah, I'm more interested in this because we are using a Qualstar XLS with IBM
LTO-4 drives and
Qualstar does not provide a key manager and the IBM one really only works with
IBM libraries
and TSM (at least I have not been able to find anyone that has successfully
implemented it).
Therefore, I need this capability to be able to have NetWorker encrypt just
those LTO-4 tapes
that are being sent off-site for DR/Records Retention plans.
Thanks for your input!
