Kern,  
I have this feature request:

What:  To provide a way for the storage daemon to enable hardware
encryption on tape drives that support encryption.

Why:  Hardware encryption should not effect the backup speed and will
still allow hardware compression of the data being backed up.   LT04 and
newer tapes drives support hardware encryption and should be cross
vendor compatible (per lto.org).

When unencrypted tapes are lost that contain sensitive customer data or
personal information most localities require companies to notify the
affected individuals.


Notes:
This thread has the source to program to send SCSI security commands to
LTO4 tape drives attached to it.

This link seems to be on point, one of the links it has is HP's lto4

If this needs anything else for the feature request please let me know.
