Hello,
We are on DP A 0.7.00 Build 105 and have been using com encryption + software encryption without compression on an LTO4 drive using LTO3 media. We recently added an LTO6 library to our infrastructure and would like to move to drive based encryption.
1) What things do we need to lookout for in moving to drive based encryption
2) Will we need to generate new keys or an additional key or can we use the ones in place for each backup object?
3) Is there a whitepaper / tutorial for what settings are needed to make this change?
4) After moving to drive based enc, will we have anything to look out for in restoring our old data?
5) Can you use LTO3 media for drive based encryption as long as you are using LTO4+ drives?
6) Can we do encryption and compression simultaneously with drive based encryption and actually get some gains in storage on LTO6 media?
7) Circling back around to #2 -- I've seen many posts saying drive based encryption makes a new key for each tape (at some point in the past). Has this been fixed now to be more sane?
Thanks in advance.
