Hi Jim, I believe that client-sided/initiated encryption is your only 'native' option here - prior to TSM 5.3, the 56bit DES encryption provided simply wasn't enough for some institutions, but with TSM 5.3,128bit AES encryption for both BA client *and* API backups (i.e. TDP's) has been brought

Richard, Thanks for your prompt answer ! At least I know where it comes from, but to tell you the truth, I'm becoming seriously bored with TSM : a new interface no one wants to use, then bugs in the simplest functions ... I loved TSM, but the honeymoon is over and IBM is responsible for it ... I

Geoff, It is one thing to say that you need the TSM database in order to reconstruct a file (in its correct format) on the client system. It's another to say that the data can't be read at all. So yes, you could possibly read the tape outside of TSM and obtain readable bits of information,

Greetings, In any encryption solution you pick, key management is crucial. Who is responsible to generate the keys? How often are they changed? Who maintains a long-term archive of the keys so you can unencrypt data that was encrypted years ago, if necessary? How are multiple,

We have 2 1GB Network Interface Cards configured for Cisco trunking. 1 IP on the network, the Cisco switch balances the incoming traffic based on some parameters. I believe AIX simply chooses the less busy NIC for outbound traffic. We peak in the 80% range on both cards. Andy Huebner

We have a separate restore server that we put all of our groupwise restores onto. Because groupwise makes you restore the whole P.O. just to get at one person's email, it would be a bit cumbersome for us to do it on the live servers. On the groupwise servers themselves, I run a dsmc set access
