Hello All,

I currently run LTO2 , Legato 7.5.1 on windows and want to upgrade to LTO4.
With LTO4 I would stop using legato software encryption (which is slow and 
cannot encrypt NDMP), and start using LTO4 hardware encryption.
I need to encrypt NDMP backups.

I am trying to find out the best way to manage LTO4 encryption keys using 
legato 7.5.1.

I want the ability to restore my LTO4 encrypted tapes at a remote site using 
only legato and a stand alone LTO4 tape drive.
Does anyone know if that is possible?

I have spoken to library vendors and each of those claims I must have their 
jukebox to perform restores.
I do not want to buy a second library just for disaster recovery offsite.

What are other people doing for this?

Will Legato be able to handle the key management in a future release?

I heard Netbackup can handle the key management now, but legato cannot.

NetWorker has no provision to handle encryption keys for LTO-4 devices now. Contact EMC to see if they anticipate that feature coming to NetWorker within your desired time frame.
