screen
Click in the Encryption enabled box to enable or disable encryption. The green check mark shows
that encryption is enabled.
Enabling encryption will enable encryption for all LTO-4 or later generation tape drives in the
library.
Enabling or disabling encryption will take effect on the next tape unload for each tape drive. The
encryption mode for a tape will not change while the tape is being written. Once a tape drive has
started the decryption process for a tape, that tape's data will continue to be decrypted until the
tape is unloaded.
Backing up the token data
You can back up the token data from the RMI encryption kit configuration screen with the required
password.
