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. http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1233755382157+28353475&threadId=1171171 This link seems to be on point, one of the links it has is HP's lto4 Encryption FAQ http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1233754299099+28353475&threadId=1245348 If this needs anything else for the feature request please let me know.
