Is there support to have the network traffic to be encrypted? We have several systems we would like to backup over the network, but we have a mandate from
our management that all the data transfers need to be encrypted.

Different methods -- I never tried one.
One approach is to replace the gzip program with an gpg (with builtin
gzip and encryption).
Maybe a bridge to far for your problem, because the data on tape
is encrypted too.  But it is secure.
