> You cannot encrypt the data before it goes to the VTL and expect it to
de-dupe it.  But you can encrypt when copying from the VTL to tape, or
you can put an encryption box behind the VTL head but in front of the
disk and you're OK (although I don't see the point).

You obviously don't live in a world where you have to protect financial
data, or any other data for that matter.
