"Disk" in this context means any/all storage that manifests itself as 3390 device types. For DFSMS backups, including backups to virtual tape and tape, z/OS Data Set Encrypted datasets stay encrypted. That includes DFSMSdss COPY, DUMP, and RESTORE, and DFSMShsm backup/recover, as examples. Moreover, there's Encryption Facility for z/OS, and of course it supports virtual tape and tape devices. Do you have some other scenario(s) in mind? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
