We have requirements that tapes shipped out be encrypted. However, we don't ship any anymore since we've channel extended the tape drives to our own BCP center. I don't think our users ship anything anymore - but I'll check with some of them.

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? Thanks, Alan Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development
