I'm looking for experiences/comments using TSM with a "tape encryption appliance" that sits between the TSM server and the tape drives. The appliance provides "transparent" compression and encryption. The two products I have found are NeoScale's CryptoStor Tape 700 and Decru's "DataFort T-Series" products. Any comments about these or another product would be appreciated. Thanks, H.
