Alan, I didn't see any responses to your question. Unusual for this group. :)
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but having recently been the recipient of a "backup tapes that included your financial data have been lost" letter, I will say that if you can provide such functionality without seriously impacting the schedule for the other things we discussed at the Technical Steering Committee, I would be all in favor of that.

The VM Development team needs your help once again. Back in July of last year, IBM published a Statement of Direction for encrypting tape drives (Announcement 105-241). We would like to know: - If you currently backup or archive z/VM data, does your business require that you encrypt said backups/archives? If so, what are you using? - If you are not *currently* required to encrypt them, do you expect those requirements to be levied against you? If so, when?
