does anyone know a good tape library which supports hardware encryption

no linux support for the encryption part und gpg is too slow on this
machine... ;)
To second the other response, you need a fast server (with fast disks) to
drive an LTO3/4 tape drive. Each drive in my LTO3 library has a dedicated
4 disk RAID0 made up of 10K RPM disks to feed it. And I still need to use
XFS over ext3 on those RAIDs to get decent tape speed.
You can't drive LTO with a low-end server.
