My question was conserning 2 things.
If you use Encryption. Cant people who get a hold of the TSM Database and the Copy Storage Pools, restore the data, whether the data was back up with Encrytpion or not? If you make a bakup set from the data back up. is ther Encryption on that data? if not is ther posible to make the backup sets more secure? I have read about Encryption, witch sais that the data is Encrypted before the data is sent on the TSM Server. i haven´t read anything about Encrytpion on the acctual TSM server data, whether the data uses encryption there or not. It does not matter if the data is Encrypted on the way to the TSM, it only matters if i can secure the data offsite? And i havent read anything about that in TSM only about Encryption in TSM for clients.

In Petur's defense, I think he is trying to say he could not find anywhere that specifically said "data in a Seq. Access Storage Pool, that goes offsite will be encrypted." I can't see where he says he read a document that says it is not encrypted.

Hi, I was just wondering where you found the information stating that the data was only protected on the way to the server, but not on the server. Encryption is done by the client using an encrytion key that it create and since the key is never passed from client to server, there is no way for the server to de-crypt the data before storage. Please let me know, as I would like to look at the documentation.
