We are currently exploring the possibility of encrypting all off-site
backups. With only S/W products and the crypto engines currently
available, it looks like encryption in the hardware will be our only
viable option. So...we don't require it now but will in the not so
distant future.

Hi, Everyone. The VM Development team needs your help once again.
Back in July of last year, IBM published a Statement of Direction for
encrypting tape drives (Announcement 105-241). We would like to know:
- If you currently backup or archive z/VM data, does your business
require
that you encrypt said backups/archives? If so, what are you using?
- If you are not *currently* required to encrypt them, do you expect
those
requirements to be levied against you? If so, when?
Thanks,
Alan
