I've used the netbackup KMS and it does work fine, although its sort of a kluge right now in my opinion. Currently you are limited to 2 keychains and you must use media from a policy whose name begins with a prefix of ENCR_ (for instance ENCR_Offsite). I've talked with our account rep and they state that they "anticipate" to raise the number of keys that can be managed in NB.7. They also anticipate it to become a chargable item after the expansion but haven't worked out the details yet.
It seems like functionality that still needs a good bit of work and will probably get it in the future but is now more of a POC. On the plus side...its currently free and works fine in my experience, so its great to try out if you already have the LTO4 drives.
