I'm pretty sure we don't encrypt any data. Much of our backups are compressed, and done with vendor products, however, I don't think that matters, as all of the data in all of the IMS and VSAM files has been converted. I think that only sequential disk or tape data would need to be converted.
So far, no one has givin me any companies that do this sort of thing. Does anyone know of any? Of course, most of you hopefully have never had to deal with this sort of thing.
