I am looking for a simple hardware backup encryption solution that would be compatible with VMS and Tru64, simple hardware solution which would involve no changes/additions to our current backup methods / software, so therefore I have been looking at LTO4 with MSL encryption kit ??
I cannot find any detailed info, can this kit plug straight into a single (external) LTO4 tape drive?
any help / advice appreciated
Thanks
Steve

The cheapest (and least secure) method of using LTO4 native encryption is the "set it and forget it" method described in the whitepaper above. This method requires no H/W or S/W beyond the LTO4 drive itself. Other methods require that either your backup app is smart enough to manage the keys or require extra H/W.

Re: Backup Encryption
Thanks for the prompt reply, this option looks good. Can I just ask, if we needed to read the tapes on another LTO4 drive (DR scenario, original tape drive developes a fault etc) is it just a case of entering the same encryption key again ?
Thanks
Steve

Re: Backup Encryption
The LTO4 MSL encryption kit is the simplest solution but as you have found requires at least a 1/8 G2 autoloader.
For standalone drives you have to have some sort of software solution. I don't know which VMS or True64 software has encryption control capability. It's almost certain that your current software won't so the autoloader or MSL library is probably the best solution.
