announces Encrypting tape drives:
I was just trying to work out a 'cold-site' scenario with encrypted tapes.
Seems like we'd need to build a 'one-pack system' with a running key
ring then
do the restores from encrypted tapes to build
a 'whole' system.
So if somebody steals my turtle shells for cold site they get all the tools
to build a new system.
Keep the one-pack system separate and send it via a different route
to the cold site. OK - Unless both shipments get there you are SOL
but the loss of either will not allow the exposure of your system as
would occur in the both shipped together scenario you reference above.
