password protected tape

I'm looking for a standard unix tool/command to cut a password protected tape of confidential data on a HP-UX platform.

Re: password protected tape

I'm not saying this animal exists, but I've never heard of it. I guess from my experience, tapes are kept/stored/moved by authorised persons. This can be done in locked bags/boxes etc from tape holding facilities/vaults.
Anyone for a Mutiny ?

Re: password protected tape

You could use GNU zip as this allows you to passwd protect the resultant file and if you re-direct it straight to the tape device, you'll have a password protected archive.

I test it first though if I were you :)
Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"
