I would be more interested in the answer not so much as recovery of data
but in securing data. Being a financial institution we have regulatory
requirements for data protection, new State laws say I must encrypt all
data on tape that is moved off site.

Unless you are willing to spen $500 an hour and send your tapes to
Dallas, at a rate of I believe it was 8MB an hour they can rebuild your
database. Then you can get data off your tape. So, yea it is pretty
difficult. Just don't loose your encryption keys! Then you should be
okay! Wish I had a better answer!

I know the topic of reading tapes written by TSM without having the DB
has come up before, but I'm wondering if anything has changed from a
couple of years ago with the implementation of 5.3 so here are a few
questions.
How hard is it to read tapes without the TSM database tape?
Is there any tape encryption with TSM 5.3?
Besides encrypting data from the client to the server is there anything
else that can be done?
What type of hit does encryption take on the client/server when in use?
Thanks,
