Good Evening. Running TSM 5.2.2 on AIX 5.2 Clients are a mix of Solaris 7,8,9 AIX 4.2, AIX 5.2, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 most running TSM 5.2.2. I've been reading the forums and was thinking I would probably not have to worry about this until now. I was asked to check and see what it would take to encrypt our data. I have 2 questions. 1: Is it a problem to use an encryption device to encrypt the data before it is sent to the TSM server? I know I would have to have the encryption key to restore the data but I was wondering if there were any problems that I would face. 2: Can TSM encrypt the data? I've read 1 article that indicated it was in TSM 5.3 but I did not see much on 5.2.2 which we are running. Are there any potential problems with using TSM to encrypt if it is possible? I know if you loose the key your done but other than that.
Thanks for all the help, Eric
