Since other vendor products have been mentioned, let me just say that IBM also has a product capable of performing backups with encryption: "IBM Backup and Restore Manager for z/VM." You can use it with V/Soft
Software's Encrypt/Backup product: See http://www.ibm.com/software/stormgmt/zvm/backup/compressencrypt.html for more details. We also have upcoming code that's currently in beta that will allow you t o optionally create DDR compatible tapes using Backup and Restore Manager. Of course, you can't encrypt these because DDR doesn't know how to read the encrypted data. Tracy Dean IBM
