Yes, you would.  If the saveset is encrypted during backup, it stays
encrypted when it is cloned.
 
I was trying to speak to the case where the saveset was NOT encrypted
during backup.
 
Sorry for the confusion.

I'm confused ... if I have a storage node with an AFTD drvice (disk),
and I have a clone job set ... wouldn't NetWorker encrypt the data to
the drive of the storage node. And if it then clones that drive onto
tape, don't I have an encrypted saveset on tape (because the saveset on
disk was encrypted)?
