Re: Tape library with hardware encryption

hmm, seems to me if you are looking for a good tape library withhardware encryption, you could probably more easily afford a fasterserver running linux that would do the encryption. Since you need tobalance the server capabilities with the tape library, you might needthis anyway. I've seen a number of people on various backup listscomplaining that they get lousy speed from the newer LTO (3 and 4). Thetypical reply is that if their backup server can't drive the LTO at anadequate speed, then the speed will degrade even further due to"shoe-shining."

Hi,
does anyone know a good tape library which supports hardware encryption
under linux with amanda? I thought about an lto-4 drive but there seems
no linux support for the encryption part und gpg is too slow on this
machine... ;)


Cheers
Nicki
