Question on tape format

[Cory Heikel]

I just talked with our Security Officer and was asked:
 
If our tapes are stolen while in transit, what data could be gotten off of them?
 
Has anyone on the list ever tried reading a copypool tape outside of TSM? If 
so, what was actually on it? I know the data is there, but does it reference 
file or node names in any way? Is the data itself actually readable?
 
Thanks,
cory
