> You cannot encrypt the data before it goes to the VTL and expect it to de-dupe it. But you can encrypt when copying from the VTL to tape, or you can put an encryption box behind the VTL head but in front of the disk and you're OK (although I don't see the point).
You obviously don't live in a world where you have to protect financial data, or any other data for that matter. Geoff Gill TSM Administrator PeopleSoft Sr. Systems Administrator SAIC M/S-G1b (858)826-4062 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
