Is it possible to change from Client Encrypt to Tape Device Encrypt?
(i.e. LTO4 / 3592 etc) The you're encrypting your offsite but your
onsite is now getting better "Factoring" compression ratios.

Hi Curtis,
Unfortunately, this was already the case when I came, client encryption
is the only option and the tapes are needed to be sent to offsite.
I think we need to consider this - enabling/disabling client encryption
and see how - in the test case on the upcoming POC with a de-dupe
vendor.
Thanks.
